Abstract

Climate change is leading to a hotter and parched world. The world’s population is also continuously growing. In such scenarios, both agricultural “thirst” and human thirst will be enhanced. A drought causes adverse comprehensive physiological, morphological, and biochemical changes, leading to reduced crop growth and yield and, ultimately, to decreased food security. Water scarcity is one of the key abiotic stresses responsible for the massive decline in crop yields globally. To fine-tune drought resistance, production of plants with high water use efficiency (WUE), and water deficient tolerant plants with high yields is needed. This chapter endeavors to record the developments in understanding the responses of crop plants to droughts and the basic plant machinery required to mitigate drought stress.
