Abstract

Wheat is one of our major cereal crops worldwide, facing different challenges. Drought is a combination of adverse effects because of global warming and climate change. About ¼ of the world is under these effects, which were not under consideration till 2019. This article will discuss multiple harmful effects on our major cereal crop, wheat. The retarded growth and overall yield of 39% have a great effect on the economy of any country. No doubt, the plant itself has natural mechanisms to alleviate the adverse effects, but long-term and periodic stresses greatly affect wheat's gene pool. Some goods are involved in improving wheat plants, which are briefly described in this article.
