“…DS is a polygenic trait, and hundreds of genes control various responses to DS ( Li et al, 2019 ). Identifying QTL leads to marker-assisted selection (MAS) to speed up breeding programs ( Rai and Rai, 2020 ). Hundreds of QTL in ramie have been identified for various abiotic stresses and other important agronomic traits; however, no QTL has been cloned against DS tolerance ( Li et al, 2019 ).…”

Ramie is one of the most significant fiber crops and contributes to good quality fiber. Drought stress (DS) is one of the most devastating abiotic factors which is accountable for a substantial loss in crop growth and production and disturbing sustainable crop production. DS impairs growth, plant water relation, and nutrient uptake. Ramie has evolved a series of defense responses to cope with DS. There are numerous genes regulating the drought tolerance (DT) mechanism in ramie. The morphological and physiological mechanism of DT is well-studied; however, modified methods would be more effective. The use of novel genome editing tools like clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) is being used to edit the recessive genes in crops to modify their function. The transgenic approaches are used to develop several drought-tolerant varieties in ramie, and further identification of tolerant genes is needed for an effective breeding plan. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping, transcription factors (TFs) and speed breeding are highly studied techniques, and these would lead to the development of drought-resilient ramie cultivars. The use of hormones in enhancing crop growth and development under water scarcity circumstances is critical; however, using different concentrations and testing genotypes in changing environments would be helpful to sort the tolerant genotypes. Since plants use various ways to counter DS, investigating mechanisms of DT in plants will lead to improved DT in ramie. This critical review summarized the recent advancements on DT in ramie using novel molecular techniques. This information would help ramie breeders to conduct research studies and develop drought tolerant ramie cultivars.

Drought is considered one of the most critical abiotic environmental stresses and limits plant growth, development, and productivity. It constitutes a real threat to humanity, especially in dry areas worldwide. Plants manage the negative effects of drought through a complex set of related mechanisms. Knowledge of plant responses and adaptation is more meaningful in plant breeding and genetics for improving drought resistance species. This review will focus on drought response mechanisms and drought adaptation, providing examples from plant species differing in their life-form, including herbaceous and woody plants. Additionally, the potential role of enhancing plant drought responses will be emphasized. This review is of potential significance to researchers and those who wish to obtain a glimpse into plant behavior under drought conditions.
