drought-resistance
Drought resistance refers to the suite of physiological and molecular mechanisms that allow plants to survive and maintain productivity under water-limited conditions, including desiccation tolerance, osmotic adjustment, and repair of damaged water-conducting tissues. Understanding these mechanisms is central to plant biology, as water availability is one of the most critical factors governing plant growth and survival across ecosystems. Research in this field drives efforts to develop crop varieties capable of withstanding increasingly frequent and severe drought events, with broad implications for global food security.
