Abstract

Water stress occurs in most farming regions that lack proper irrigation systems and get insufficient moisture. Using biotechnological approaches, researchers could better understand the physiological and biochemical mechanisms that support a plant’s response to water stress, allowing them to produce drought-tolerant plants. Plants use a variety of mechanisms to cope with insufficient water supply, including variations in the expression of genes and the buildup of organic compounds to survive and grow effectively. According to biochemical investigations on the drought-tolerance mechanism, harmless micro compounds of suitable solute accumulate during a water shortage. The main goal of this chapter is to compile research innovations on stress-responsive genes and functional machinery subjected to water stress by discussing agronomic, physiological, ultrastructural modifications, and omic aspects of drought in sugarcane crops.
