Abstract:
Low temperature is a common abiotic stress, which can seriously restrict the normal growth and development of crops. In this study, wheat cold-regulated gene 80 (Wcor80) was isolated from "Dongnongdongmai 1" (Dn1) material and characterized. The expression of Wcor80 was induced by brassinolide (BR) and low temperature (LT) treatments, and it was preferentially expressed in the leaves under abscisic acid (ABA) treatment and in the tillering nodes under BR treatment. Overexpression of Wcor80 in transgenic Arabidopsis significantly increased tolerance to LT treatment. Overall, our findings suggest that Wcor80 functions as a positive regulator of resistance to LT stress, providing a theoretical basis for the molecular breeding and cultivation regulation of winter wheat.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
