Drought resistance refers to the ability of plants, crops, and other organisms to withstand and survive periods of low water availability or drought conditions. This research area focuses on understanding the physiological, genetic, and molecular mechanisms that allow certain species or varieties to better tolerate and adapt to water scarcity. Researchers in this field study various aspects of drought resistance, including water use efficiency, osmotic adjustment, stomatal regulation, and stress signaling pathways. By identifying and studying these mechanisms, scientists aim to develop new strategies and technologies to improve the drought resistance of crops and other plants, ultimately enhancing agricultural productivity and food security in areas prone to drought.
