Agricultural production faces various kinds of stresses in a changing world. These stresses include abiotic (drought, salinity, waterlogging, etc.) and biotic stresses. Among the environmental stresses, salinity and drought are two of the most devastating stressors due to its diverse negative effects on crop plants. Drought stress in plants is very complex as it occurs due to varying environmental conditions such as soil water scarcity, soil salinity, and high temperature. The latter ones are termed as physiological drought. Drought and salinity are an immense threat to crop production worldwide, and crop growth models predict that due to global climate change the frequency and severity of drought and salinity stresses will be more severe in the future to cause substantial damages. Drought, salinity and other abiotic stresses are the reasons for crop losses worldwide as much as 50 %. So, it is a burning concern to protest and prevent the destructive global effects of drought and salinity. To cope with the stresses, plants and animals, however, adopt a variety of physiological and biochemical mechanisms at the cellular and whole organism levels. Therefore, sustainability of crop production under stress conditions should be considered one of the most important global strategies.
