The formation of ice on and inside plant tissues represents a major challenge to survival. The resulting phase transition and spatial redistribution of liquid water from inside the cell to extracellular ice results in physical changes to cells and enormous physical stresses and strains. The ability of higher plants to acclimate and tolerate freezing stress is a complex quantitative trait and the product of the activities of not one, but a sizable suite of genes. Many of the known cold-regulated genes are under the control of a primary master regulator, CBF/DREB1, but it is not likely to be the sole master regulator. In considering the origin of freezing tolerance in higher plants, it has been suggested that freezing tolerance likely arose by adopting drought tolerance mechanisms. This may explain why many genes responsive to cold stress are also responsive to drought and (or) other osmotic stresses.
