Drought mitigation, through development of drought resistant varieties with higher yields, will be the key factor to improve stable rice production. This chapter reviews the following topics: mechanisms of drought resistance, assessing drought tolerance performance, identifying genes promoting drought tolerance using quantitative trait loci (QLT) analysis, genetic engineering
soil health and management for variable weather
