Answer:
Bolting is induced by plant hormones of the gibberellin family,[citation needed] and can occur as a result of several factors, including changes in day length, the prevalence of high temperatures at particular stages in a plant's growth cycle, and the existence of stresses such as insufficient water or minerals

Changes in the length of the day and stressors such as not getting enough water or minerals can cause bolting. And yes, low temperatures at certain growing stages can trigger a plant to bolt. Plants that are stressed may respond to that stress by bolting so that they can produce seeds before they die.
