Drought tolerance - Wikipedia
In botany, drought tolerance is the ability by which a plant maintains its biomass production during arid or drought conditions. [1][2][3] Some plants are naturally adapted to dry conditions, surviving with protection mechanisms such as desiccation tolerance, detoxification, or …
