“…Thus, in rain-fed areas drought episodes are strongly correlated with the rainfall distribution across the year and high chances of water stress are observed in some years over a certain period of time [ 35 ]. Industrialization, deforestation and urbanization are the prominent anthropogenic activities that affect rainfall patterns, and thus water availability to plants, through its influence in climate change [ 36 ]. In Pakistan, erratic and more frequent rainfall occurs in early spring and winter, while more frequently drier and hotter seasons take place due to less and/or no rainfall in early fall and summer seasons.…”

Drought stress, being the inevitable factor that exists in various environments without recognizing borders and no clear warning thereby hampering plant biomass production, quality, and energy. It is the key important environmental stress that occurs due to temperature dynamics, light intensity, and low rainfall. Despite this, its cumulative, not obvious impact and multidimensional nature severely affects the plant morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular attributes with adverse impact on photosynthetic capacity. Coping with water scarcity, plants evolve various complex resistance and adaptation mechanisms including physiological and biochemical responses, which differ with species level. The sophisticated adaptation mechanisms and regularity network that improves the water stress tolerance and adaptation in plants are briefly discussed. Growth pattern and structural dynamics, reduction in transpiration loss through altering stomatal conductance and distribution, leaf rolling, root to shoot ratio dynamics, root length increment, accumulation of compatible solutes, enhancement in transpiration efficiency, osmotic and hormonal regulation, and delayed senescence are the strategies that are adopted by plants under water deficit. Approaches for drought stress alleviations are breeding strategies, molecular and genomics perspectives with special emphasis on the omics technology alteration i.e., metabolomics, proteomics, genomics, transcriptomics, glyomics and phenomics that improve the stress tolerance in plants. For drought stress induction, seed priming, growth hormones, osmoprotectants, silicon (Si), selenium (Se) and potassium application are worth using under drought stress conditions in plants. In addition, drought adaptation through microbes, hydrogel, nanoparticles applications and metabolic engineering techniques that regulate the antioxidant enzymes activity for adaptation to drought stress in plants, enhancing plant tolerance through maintenance in cell homeostasis and ameliorates the adverse effects of water stress are of great potential in agriculture.

“…A more significant stress level is observed when comparing places where crop production depends entirely on rainfall to areas where the crop is irrigated by canals, rivers, and water channels [60]. During droughts in rain-fed areas, the annual rainfall distribution has a significant effect on water stress [61,62]. Through their influence on global climate change, three human activities, industrialization, deforestation, and urbanization, have the biggest impact on rainfall patterns and the availability of water to plants.…”

Each year, the global population and agriculture suffer critical agricultural output losses as a result of severe drought devastation. Physiological drought occurs when plants are unable to extract water from the soil, even though it is available in the root zone. Apart from having a significant effect on plant physiology, drought stress has the effect of reducing crop yield. Drought stress influences plant metabolism both directly and indirectly. Drought stress alters the morpho-anatomical, physiological, and biochemical composition of plants, thereby decreasing transpiration water loss and increasing the efficiency with which plants use their water. Constant water loss through transpiration, combined with previously lost water, results in leaf water deficits. Nonetheless, drought stress has a wide variety of effects, ranging from lesions to confusion. Plant health is harmed when their ability to absorb water and nutrients, interact with their environment, and breathe is harmed. Apart from oxidative damage to plants, it may also result in cell death, which can occur under certain conditions when cells are exposed to their environment. Drought induces a plethora of physiological and molecular changes in plants, the majority of which assist them in adapting to the harsh environment. To mitigate drought's adverse effects, we must first gain a better understanding of how drought affects plant physiology. The purpose of this research is to better understand how drought affects plant development by examining the causes and effects of drought stress.

“…The workshop, hosted by the AHRC funded partner, the Art of Living Foundation, an international NGO working to revive traditional indigenous seeds, associated farming systems ("natural farming") and know-how, created 4 working groups. 4 All groups identified current challenges that either disincentivize or prevent active adoption of indigenous seeds (agrobiodiversity) by small and marginal farmers, and made recommendations for future actions to overcome these challenges.…”

“…Emerging research reveals that farming systems that enhance agrobiodiversity are often more robust in the face of local biotic and abiotic stresses [2]. Agrobiodiversity, therefore, actively contributes to food and nutritional security in the face of rapid climate change [2]- [4]. International instruments, such as the Convention on Bi-ological Diversity (CBD) [5] and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture ("the Seed Treaty") [6], emphasize the relevance of in situ agro-biodiversity conservation.…”
