Drought Tolerance

Drought tolerance refers to a plant's ability to survive and function during periods of low water availability. It involves special physiological and structural traits that reduce water loss, improve water uptake, or protect the plant’s cells from damage caused by dehydration. Drought-tolerant plants can maintain growth and reproduce despite dry conditions, making them valuable for agriculture and landscaping in arid regions. This adaptation helps plants endure water scarcity, ensuring their survival and productivity when water is limited.
