Abstract: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most important cereal crop for the majority of world’s populations and staple food of about two billion people. Wheat is cultivated over a wide range of climatic conditions and wheat are exposed to numerous biotic and abiotic stresses which is of a significant effect on the growth, development and cause changes in the normal morphological, physiological, and molecular functions of the plants. Drought stresses are significant causes of crop loss. Drought stresses are often interconnected, and could induce similar cellular damage, plants must adapt to stressful conditions, and exercise specific tolerance mechanisms modification for enhanced tolerance is mostly based on the manipulation of genes that maintained and protect the structure, and function of cellular components. Present strategies rely on the transfer of one, or several genes that are either involved in signalling and regulatory pathways, or that encode enzymes present in pathways leading to the synthesis of functional and structural protestants or that encode stress-tolerance conferring proteins. Tolerance to abiotic stresses be a very complex due to intricate interactions between stress factors and various molecular, biochemical, and physiological phenomenon affecting plant growth and development.
