Abstract

Drought is one of the major environmental threat to world’s food security. The limitations in water supply aggravate the problems of food production sufficient to meet the demands of increased population explosion. Effects of drought on plants range from morphological to molecular level. The severity of drought depends on many factors like rain fall distribution, temperature, water holding capacity of soils and the severity varies from crop to crop. In the present review paper an attempt was made to put forth the studies made by different scientists on effect of drought on different crops including mulberry. This review which comprises of various investigations on drought gives some knowledge to researchers, academicians who are working on drought and helps in carrying out further research.
