Water scarcity is the universal problem both in developing and developed countries. Numerous researchers have discussed different strategies to cope with this problem. I am looking for the recent research outputs in areas where rainfall is scare.
Hello,
So far in advanced era of genetics, genic profiling of drought responsive candidate genes are known to be best study for drought stress resistance mechanisms.

Agronomic strategies to Improve tolerance such as Implementation of crop management practices: soil management and culture practices, irrigation, crop residues,@ and mulching, and selection of more appropriate crop varieties.

Drought resistance comprises drought avoidance and drought tolerance. These are basically plant responses to drought. There is yet another seeming resistance mechanism 'drought escape" which means exploitation of earliness. The basics remain the same in both field crops and vegetable crops. Drought avoidance adaptive features have been exploited to a large extent in both groups. For further details, please access the attached pdf, and links given below:

Thank you so much Prof Arbind K. Choudhary for your valuable contribution in our discussion
One of the most important meanings acquired by the concept of drought adaptation is the plant's ability to produce acceptable production under drought conditions.
An acclimatized plant is one that tolerates or resists a certain water deficit and is able to produce at an acceptable level compared to another plant that is not adapted to drought. Plants respond to water stress with mechanisms that differ according to the plant species, which cannot be separated from each other because they may be complementary.
