Water deficit, more commonly referred to as ‘drought’, has been, and continues to be the most limiting factor affecting food production, especially in areas with inadequate agriculture water resources. Therefore, with the global shortage of water, reducing water consumption in crop production is recognized as an essential strategy for sustainable agriculture. Rice is one of the world’s most important staple foods. Rice grain yield and yield components have been known to be highly influenced by water supply. There are numerous studies about drought tolerance in rice. Drought tolerance is a complex trait that involves various aspects of developmental, physiological, biochemical, and molecular adjustments. The objective of this study is to screen and select rice varieties tolerant to drought under field conditions.
