CROP PRODUCTION UNDER DROUGHT: PLANT RESPONSES AND MANAGEMENT OPTIONS

Drought act as the relatively greatest negative contributor of agricultural productivity losses worldwide. The plant’s reaction to drought stresses could be dealing with different various morpho-physiological and biochemical responses. We consider an exact briefing of plants’ responses to drought stresses. Physical damage of crops occurs due to insufficient water availability, unpredictable weather changes. Plant proceeds various mechanisms to face drought stress, one way is osmolytes bring together to counter the stress. The aggregation of osmolytes in addition to managed plant hormones like proline, brassinosteroids, ABA, C2H4 & C7H6O3. The essentiality of explaining about phytohormones which dealing with osmolytes in plants during abiotic stresses.
