**8. Conclusion**

The LT stress negatively impacts the plant's performance, and survival percentage, through the generation of ROS. ROS accumulate under the stress in plants from different cell organelles. To deplete these ROS plants, activate the defense system, which includes enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants. These together are involved in the detoxification of the accumulated ROS and enhance resilience against cold stress. Carbohydrates, proteins, and phenolic compounds also accumulate under stress conditions, helping in scavenging the ROS species. Acclimation is a method in which the plants are allowed to be exposed under nonfreezing and non-injurious temperatures, which leads to certain changes in plants that confer subsequent tolerance to cold injury.
