Abstract

Drought stress harms rice production and results in significant economic losses. The severity of the global climate change issue is rising. Given the current and projected levels of global food demand, it is imperative to boost agricultural output in rain-fed, drought-prone areas. Because they are crucial to achieving the production goal in rainfed regions, drought-tolerant rice varieties are in great demand. Future research on genetic improvement for drought resistance should be given top priority. A recent study has shown that several genetic and physiological factors affect how well rice manages drought. This information has been used to make better rice varieties that can manage drought. In addition, new techniques like marker-assisted selection and gene editing are being used to make rice even more resistant to drought.
