In botany, drought tolerance is the ability by which a plant maintains its biomass production during arid or drought conditions. [1] [2] [3] Some plants are naturally adapted to dry conditions, surviving with protection mechanisms such as desiccation tolerance, detoxification, or repair of xylem embolism. [3]
A plant that has been exposed to dehydration stress (hardened) previously and has recovered may become more drought resistant. Also, a plant that was well-watered prior to being water-limited will usually survive a period of drought better than a continuously dehydration-stressed plant.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is known to be more environmentally-tolerant than other cereal crops, in terms of soil pH, mineral nutrient availability, and water availability. [1] Because of this, much research is being done on barley plants in order to determine whether or not there is a genetic basis for this environmental hardiness. [2]
The first field trials of genetically engineered plants occurred in France and the US in 1986, tobacco plants were engineered to be resistant to herbicides. [48] In 1987 Plant Genetic Systems , founded by Marc Van Montagu and Jeff Schell , was the first company to genetically engineer insect-resistant plants by incorporating genes that produced ...
The World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought is a United Nations observance celebrated each year on 17 June. [1] Its purpose is to raise awareness of the presence of desertification and drought, highlighting methods of preventing desertification and recovering from drought. Each year's global celebration has a unique, novel emphasis that ...
Drought deciduous plants may drop their leaves in times of dryness. The wilting of leaves is a reversible process, however, abscission is irreversible. Shedding leaves is not favourable to plants because when water is available again, they would have to spend resources to produces new leaves which are needed for photosynthesis. [ 11 ]
