TLDR
Drought stress decreased the biomass and yield, leaf area duration, cumulative water transpired, net assimilation rate, mean transpiration rate and harvest index in the okra varieties studied, but among the varieties, variety JK Haritha showed better results.About:

Drought stress in plants: A review on morphological characteristics and pigments composition
Cheruth Abdul Jaleel,P. Manivannan,Abdul Wahid,Muhammad Farooq,H.J. Al-Juburi,Ramamurthy Somasundaram,Rajaram Panneerselvam +6 more
TL;DR: Drought induced changes in morphological, physiological and pigments composition in higher plants are described, which results in declined light harvesting and generation of reducing powers, which are a source of energy for dark reactions of photosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought tolerance in wheat.
TL;DR: This review paper has concentrated on the study of water limitation and its effects on morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of wheat with the possible losses caused by drought stress.
Book ChapterDOI
Drought Tolerance: Roles of Organic Osmolytes, Growth Regulators, and Mineral Nutrients
TL;DR: The roles of organic osmolytes, plant growth regulators, and mineral nutrients in plant response to drought stress are reviewed and their exogenous application in enhancing plant drought tolerance and alleviating the damaging effects of drought stress is discussed.

Osmoregulation and antioxidant metabolism in drought-stressed Helianthus annuus under triadimefon drenching
TL;DR: A pot-culture experiment was conducted to estimate the ameliorating effect of triadimefon (TDM) on drought stress in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants as discussed by the authors.

Growth and development responses of crop plants under drought stress: a review
Shakeel Ahmad Anjum,Umair Ashraf,Ali Zohaib,Mohsin Tanveer,Muhammad Naeem,Iftikhar Ali,Tahira Tabassum,Usman Nazir +7 more
TL;DR: Identification of effects of drought stress on morphological attributes and morphological changes in response to drought can be promising for selection and breeding of drought resistant genotypes.

Carbon Isotope Discrimination and Photosynthesis
TL;DR: In this article, the physical and enzymatic bases of carbone isotope discrimination during photosynthesis were discussed, noting how knowledge of discrimination can be used to provide additional insight into photosynthetic metabolism and the environmental influences on that process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salt and drought stress signal transduction in plants
TL;DR: Salt and drought stress signal transduction consists of ionic and osmotic homeostasis signaling pathways, detoxification (i.e., damage control and repair) response pathways, and pathways for growth regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding plant responses to drought — from genes to the whole plant
TL;DR: Attention is drawn to the perception and signalling processes (chemical and hydraulic) of water deficits, which are essential for a holistic understanding of plant resistance to stress, which is needed to improve crop management and breeding techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought-induced responses of photosynthesis and antioxidant metabolism in higher plants
TL;DR: This review focuses on the ability and strategies of higher plants to respond and adapt to drought stress, including proline and glycine-betaine, as well as the role of abscisic acid under drought stress conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limitation to Photosynthesis in Water‐stressed Leaves: Stomata vs. Metabolism and the Role of ATP
TL;DR: Decreasing relative water content of leaves progressively decreases stomatal conductance (gs), slowing CO2 assimilation (A) which eventually stops, after which CO2 is evolved.
