Drought continues to pose a significant threat to the production of vital cereal crops, including wheat and barley, as a result of climate change. Moreover, cereals exhibit intricate responses to drought stress, making it a complex trait to enhance drought tolerance. Given that numerous cereals are considered staple food crops due to their nutritional significance, there is an urgent need for more research to improve drought tolerance to ensure the future food security of millions.
Developing drought-resistant cereals provides a comprehensive review of the extensive research conducted to address this challenge and mitigate the effects of climate change on cereal production. This collection highlights our current understanding of the mechanisms underlying drought tolerance, as well as advancements in techniques for improving resistance, such as phenotyping, gene identification related to root and photosynthetic function, and the application of genomic selection and genome editing.
The importance of developing drought-resistant cereals cannot be overstated, as it is crucial to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on food security. By understanding the mechanisms of drought tolerance and utilizing innovative techniques, we can enhance the resilience of cereal crops and ensure their ability to produce sufficient yields in the face of future drought challenges. This research has the potential to revolutionize the agriculture industry and contribute to the well-being of millions of people worldwide.
