Rice is the most widely consumed staple food in India and a large part of the world's human population, especially in Asia. In this review we discussed about the Morphological and molecular mechanisms for drought tolerance in rice. Rice requires high temperature above 200C but not more than 35 to 400C. The lots of work have been done in this area to find out the cultivars, resistance to drought.

The higher wheat grain production will be needed to meet the demand of ever growing population which can be achieved by increasing the productivity and reducing the losses caused by biotic and abiotic stresses. All the three rusts along with Karnal bunt and loose smut in favorable environments causing significant yield losses in wheat.

The changes in the climate due to global warming and ever dwindling arable land due to the population pressure are increasing strain on available resources for sustainable food production. Therefore, it is an urgent need to have proper idea about the effect of drought stress on crop plants for getting stable production through research intervention.

Abiotic stresses are major constrains which adversely affect the plant growth and productivity. Among all abiotic stresses, drought is considered as one of the major constraints on agricultural productivity worldwide and is likely to further increase. Hence the need of the hour is to formulate the strategies that can minimize the loss in crop production under drought conditions. One of them being the exploitation of soil microbes which have the capacity to overcome the adverse effects of drought stress.

Wheat is an important cereal crop grown worldwide primarily for chapati, bread and biscuits. Target specific wheat breeding and quality improvement programs focus on developing genetically superior, high yielding, disease resistant cultivars with desired quality that are adapted to different growth environments. Drought refers to the condition of reduced soil moisture which induces several changes in crops i.e., morphological, biological, physiological and molecular changes. It also causes reduction in crop yield or in some cases cause crop failure.

Vegetable crops comprise a major part in Indian agriculture in terms of providing food and nutritional security. Recommended per day consumption of vegetables is 300 g. In recent past, Indian agriculture has witnessed a tremendous progress in vegetable production, due to the advent of high yielding varieties and new technologies. Vegetables are important sources of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients of medicinal and therapeutic value. Due to the percent of low germination rate and seedling emergence yield of the crops decreasing day by day.
