Scientists have developed crop varieties that can tolerate drought conditions by possessing traits such as deep root systems, efficient water use, and the ability to maintain growth and productivity under limited water availability.
Crop varieties play a crucial role in drought tolerance by exhibiting traits such as deeper root systems, reduced transpiration rates, and improved water use efficiency. Selecting and breeding drought-tolerant varieties with traits like stomatal control, osmotic adjustment, and improved photosynthetic activity helps plants withstand water stress, ensuring more reliable yields and food security in drought-prone regions.
