| Sumario: | Rice production is severely limited by drought stress, which causes significant monetary losses. The global climate change is turning into a more significant problem. Enhancing agricultural yield in the drought-prone rainfed areas has become critical in light of the current and projected global food demand. There is a need for rice varieties with drought tolerance in order to achieve the production objective from rainfed areas, and genetic improvement for drought tolerant should be a high priority issue of study in the future. The intricate structure of breeding for drought-tolerant rice varieties makes it a challenging endeavour, and multigenic regulation of drought-tolerant features would be a significant roadblock for the ongoing study. In this chapter, we discussed on the recent crop improvement program for the development of drought-tolerant rice varieties and highlighted the most recent advancements through conventional to molecular breeding level for adaption of cultivars against drought tolerance in rice under different agro-climatic conditions. |
