Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide composed of glucose molecules connected by α-glycosidic bond. this soluble substance plays an important role of protecting green algie and other lower plants from stress. It can help plants cope with extreme environments such as severe cold, drought and high salinity, regulate the stomalal conductance and water utilization rate of plants, and participate in the growth and metabolism regulation of plants as a signal molecule. As an impermeable eryoproteetant, trehalose is widely used in the refrigeration protection of various animal cells and tissues due to its non-toxicity and high efficiency. According to the research results at home and abroad in recent years, the protection, regulation and mechanism of trehalose on plant tissues and animal cells were summarized, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the further development and utilization of trehalose.
