Abstract

Data on the main pathways of the effect of cold on plants and on the pathways of plant responses to cold stress are reviewed. Genes involved in these processes are described. Special attention is given to transcription factors regulating expression of cold resistance genes. In addition, the participation of hormones and metabolites in the protection of plants from cold-induced damage is discussed and a relationship of the response to cold with the circadian rhythms and with the formation of stomata is demonstrated.
