Review demonstrates multifaceted plant adaptation mechanisms and technological mitigation strategies against drought stress, highlighting sustainable interventions for crop resilience.

Key Points

Synthesize the physiological, biochemical, and molecular impacts of drought stress on crops while evaluating biological adaptations and practical intervention strategies for agricultural systems.
Reviewed morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of plants facing water-deficit conditions.
Assessed mitigation approaches spanning plant breeding, multi-omics platforms, chemical treatments (silicon, selenium, potassium), seed priming, beneficial microbes, and nanomaterials.
Drought stress disrupts cellular homeostasis, reduces stomatal conductance, hampers photosynthetic capacity, and impairs overall biomass accumulation and crop yield.
Endogenous plant survival responses include dynamic root-to-shoot adjustments, leaf rolling, delayed senescence, osmotic regulation, and hormonal signaling.
Exogenous interventions—including seed priming, osmoprotectants, microbial inoculants, hydrogels, and metabolic engineering—markedly enhance antioxidant enzyme activity and stress tolerance.
