  By Manjeet Kumar, Meenakshi Uniyal, Naveen Kumar, Sudhir Kumar, Rishipal Gangwar

  Abstract: AbstractIn crop plants, possibility of attaining higher production level depends on the magnitude of genetic potential of germplasm and environmental conditions. Drought being the major abiotic stress, adversely affects the growth and development ultimately economic yield of maize crop in variety of ways. The precise knowledge of drought sensitive crop stages, drought tolerance imparting traits, screening techniques and breeding strategies are having the fundamental prerequisite for development of drought tolerant …
