Plants in their natural habitats adapt to drought stress in the environment through a variety of mechanisms, ranging from transient responses to low soil moisture to major survival mechanisms of escape by early flowering in absence of seasonal rainfall. However, crop plants selected by humans to yield products such as grain, vegetable, or fruit in favorable environments with high inputs of water and fertilizer are expected to yield an economic product in response to inputs. Crop plants selected for their economic yield need to survive drought stress through mechanisms that maintain crop yield. Studies on model plants for their survival under stress do not, therefore, always translate to yield of crop plants under stress, and different aspects of drought stress response need to be emphasized. The crop plant model rice (Oryza sativa) is used here as an example to highlight mechanisms and genes for adaptation of crop plants to drought stress.

Iron (Fe) stress is encountered by many crops in calcareous soils with pH above 8.0, which are abundant in India. Most of the times Fe stress goes unnoticed however anyway it affects yield. Aerobic rice and upland rice nurseries also exhibit Fe stress. In many cases frequent adequate irrigation solves the problem. In Fe deficient areas adequate organic manures must be applied, while preparing the field. Application of elemental S and S-containing fertilizers also helps in overcoming Fe stress in plants. In case of serious Fe-stress, ferrous sulphate or Fe-EDTA solution can be sprayed, which effectively overcome the Fe stress problem.
