“…Once the temperature goes below the optimum, the COR gene springs into action to maintain homeostasis by mitigating the impact of cold stress. The first type of COR gene-dependent response involves encoding proteins required for the biosynthesis of osmoprotectants, cryoprotectants, protein kinases, lipid, hormone, and stress-responsive proteins like AFPs, HSPs, LEA, dehydrins that are directly involved in cold tolerance (Holmberge and Bülow, 1998;Thomashow, 2010;Kidokoro et al, 2022). Other sets of COR gene-dependent responses include genes such as early response to dehydration, low temperature-induced, response to abscisic acid, and cold-Induced transcription factors (Alves et al, 2011;Shi et al, 2015;Cao et al, 2021).…”
