Consistent climatic instabilities and unpredictable rainfall patterns are further worsening the situation. Rice is a C 3 staple cereal and an important food crop for the majority of the world's population and drought stress is one of the major growth retarding threats for rice that slashes down grain quality and yield. Drought deteriorates rice productivity and induces various acclimation responses that aids in stress mitigation. However, the complexity of traits associated with drought tolerance has made the understanding of drought stress-induced responses in rice a challenging process. An integrative understanding based on physi- ological adaptations, omics, transgenic and molecular breeding approaches succes- sively backed up to developing drought stress-tolerant rice. The review represents a step forward to develop drought-resilient rice plants by exploiting the knowledge that collaborates with omics-based developments with integrative efforts to ensure the compilation of all the possible strategies undertaken to develop drought stress- tolerant rice. date: 2020-09 date_type: published publication: Physiologia Plantarum (TSI) publisher: Wiley pagerange: 1-24 id_number: doi:10.1111/ppl.13223 refereed: TRUE issn: 0031-9317 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1111/ppl.13223 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=10.1111%2Fppl.13223&btnG= related_url_type: pub citation: Khan, M I R and Palakolanu, S R and Chopra, P and Rajurkar, A B and Gupta, R and Iqbal, N and Maheshwari, C (2020) Improving drought tolerance in rice: Ensuring food security through multi‐dimensional approaches.
