ABSTRACT

The agriculture sector is facing a real challenge against climate change (Vurukonda, Vardharajula, Shrivastava, & Skz, 2016). With the increase in heat waves, storms, droughts, floods or heavy precipitation, crop productivity and food security are being endangered (Hansen, Sato, & Ruedy, 2012; Sundström et al., 2014). Among these climate change threats, drought is expected to dramatically hamper plant growth and development for more than 50% of the arable lands by 2050, decreasing crop productivity worldwide (Kasim et al., 2013; Li et al., 2014). From moderate and short to extremely severe and prolonged periods, drought can disturb plant water potential and turgor and thus modify physiological and morphological traits of plants (Rahdari & Hoseini, 2012).
