Cold stress has an important influence on the geographical distribution and growth of plants. Under cold stress,transcription factor activate the cold responsive gene expressions by binding to the cis-acting elements of gene promoter,therefore improving the cold resistance of plants by regulating signal transduction pathways in plants. This review focuses on recent research progresses on transcription factors AP2/ERF,NAC,WRKY,MYB,bZIP,and ZFPs involved in plant cold stress,and proposes a regulatory network that transcription factors participates in the cold stress by interacting with other fac...
