Drought stress is one of the main causes of reduced plant development and significant annual losses among all abiotic stresses due to climate change. It has become a common and severe problem throughout the world that reduces crop yield, leading to food shortages worldwide. Hence, drought-tolerant plant development is badly needed but using a conventional approach, requires a long time to produce and is tedious as well. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas endonuclease is a cutting-edge technique and has established itself as an outstanding tool among all gene editing approaches because of its extensive application, ease of use, adaptability, and flexibility. In the present study, the general mechanisms, methods, and applications of the CRISPR/Cas tool against drought stress are emphasized.
