Description Drought has been highly prevalent around the world especially in Sub-Saharan Africa
and South-East Asian countries. 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.
