Background Rice ( Oryza sativa  L.) is one of the most widely grown food crops, and its yield and quality are particularly important for a warm-saturated diet. Cold stress restricts rice growth, development, and yield; however, the specific mechanism of cold tolerance in rice remains unknown. Results The analysis of leaf physiological and photosynthetic characteristics showed that the two rice varieties were significantly affected by cold stress, but the cold-tolerant variety KY131 had more stable physiological characteristics, maintaining relatively good photosynthetic capacity. To better explore the transcriptional regulation mechanism and biological basis of rice response to cold stress, a comprehensive analysis of the rice transcriptome and lipidome under low temperature and control temperature conditions was carried out. The transcriptomic analysis revealed that lipid metabolism, including membrane lipid and fatty acid metabolism, may be an important factor in rice cold tolerance, and 397 lipid metabolism related genes have been identified. Lipidomics data confirmed the importance of membrane lipid remodeling and fatty acid unsaturation for rice adaptation to cold stress. This indicates that the changes in the fluidity and integrity of the photosynthetic membrane under cold stress lead to the reduction of photosynthetic capacity, which could be relieved by increased levels of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol that mainly caused by markedly increased expression of levels of 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-beta-galactosyltransferase (MGD). The upregulation of phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP2) inhibited the excessive accumulation of phosphatidate (PA) to produce more phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylglycerol (PG), thereby preventing of membrane phase transition under cold stress. In addition, fatty acid β-oxidation is worth further study in rice cold tolerance. Finally, we constructed a metabolic model for the regulatory mechanism of cold tolerance in rice, in which the advanced lipid metabolism system plays a central role. Conclusions Lipidome analysis showed that membrane lipid composition and unsaturation were significantly affected, especially phospholipids and galactolipids. Our study provides new information to further understand the response of rice to cold stress.
