Chilling Tolerance in Maize: Insights into Advances—Toward Physio-Biochemical Responses’ and QTL/Genes’ Identification

Maize, a major staple cereal crop in global food supply, is a thermophilic and short-day C4 plant sensitive to low-temperature stress. A low temperature is among the most severe agro-meteorological hazards in maize-growing areas. This review covers the latest research and progress in the field of ch...

description Maize, a major staple cereal crop in global food supply, is a thermophilic and short-day C4 plant sensitive to low-temperature stress. A low temperature is among the most severe agro-meteorological hazards in maize-growing areas. This review covers the latest research and progress in the field of chilling tolerance in maize in the last 40 years. It mainly focuses on how low-temperature stress affects the maize membrane and antioxidant systems, photosynthetic physiology, osmoregulatory substances and hormone levels. In addition, the research progress in identifying cold-tolerance QTLs (quantitative trait loci) and genes to genetically improve maize chilling toleranceis comprehensively discussed. Based on previous research, this reviewprovides anoutlook on potential future research directions and offers a reference for researchers in the maize cold-tolerance-related field.
