Drought is the most prevalent environmental stress that affects plants' growth, development, and crop productivity. However, plants have evolved adaptive mechanisms to respond harmful effects of drought. They reprogram their: transcriptome, proteome, metabolome alter their cellular physiological processes establish homeostasis. One crucial regulatory govern this reprogramming post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs, involved in downregulation target mRNA via translation inhibition/mRNA degradation/miRNA-mediated decay/ribosome drop off/DNA methylation. Many drought-inducible been identified characterized plants. Their main targets genes influence osmotic tolerance, antioxidant defense, phytohormone-mediated signaling, delayed senescence during drought stress.
