Abstract
Drought is a major abiotic stress that can significantly affect seed germination, growth, flowering, and crop yield of okra. Under drought stress, okra plants actively reprogram the gene expression network and adjust the physiological metabolism to maintain growth and development. Characterizing the drought-induced changes at transcriptomic, physiological, and morphological levels should provide valuable information for selective breeding against drought. In this review, we summarize recent advances in drought response in okra and survey the molecular mechanisms underlying drought tolerance.
