Abstract :
ABSTRACT Drought stress is one of the major challenges in agriculture, particularly in rice production, and has significant negative impacts on the growth and yield of this crop. Rice, as a staple food in many countries worldwide, is highly affected by water scarcity and climate change. Drought stress induces oxidative stress and disrupts the physiological processes of the plant, ultimately leading to reduced yield and product quality. The physiological and biochemical adaptations of plants to cope with this stress include alterations in growth patterns, hormonal regulation, and the production of secondary metabolites. Furthermore, management strategies such as selecting drought-resistant varieties and improving irrigation methods are proposed to mitigate the negative effects of drought stress on rice. This study aims to develop effective strategies for water resource management and enhance rice production under drought stress conditions. The article reviews the effects of drought stress on seed germination, root growth, photosynthesis, and dry matter production in rice. Keywords: Rice, Oxidative stress, Strategies, Germination
