Responses to Drought and Flooding

10.8K
Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

26.1K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

19.6K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

7.4K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.8K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Plant Biology
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Global food security is threatened by increasing drought stress (DS) impacting crop productivity.
  • Understanding the complex physiological, biochemical, molecular, and ecological responses of plants to DS is vital.
  • DS causes yield losses through physical, physiological, biochemical, and molecular disruptions in crops.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in understanding plant responses to drought stress.
  • To explore mechanisms underlying crop tolerance and susceptibility to DS.
  • To identify and discuss effective strategies for mitigating DS impacts on agriculture.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of plant responses to drought stress.
  • Analysis of physiological, biochemical, molecular, and ecological mechanisms.
  • Evaluation of various mitigation strategies including omics, breeding, and agronomic practices.

Main Results:

  • Drought stress affects crop growth and yield via multiple pathways.
  • Diverse strategies exist to enhance crop drought tolerance.
  • Integrated approaches combining omics, genome editing, and breeding show promise.

Conclusions:

  • Developing drought-resilient crops requires a multi-faceted approach.
  • Combining advanced techniques like multi-omics and genome editing with traditional methods is key.
  • Achieving sustainable agriculture and food security necessitates the development of 'drought-smart' cultivars.
