Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and heat stress significantly affect rice crop growth and production. Under uncertain climatic conditions, the concurrent multiple abiotic stresses at different stages of rice production became a major challenge for agriculture. Hence, improving rice's multiple abiotic stress tolerance is essential to overcome unprecedented challenges under adverse environmental conditions.

- The study focuses on enhancing the drought tolerance of peanut plants through the genetic modification that employs specific regulatory genes for root growth and stress resistance.
- Transgenic peanut plants expressing genes such as Alfin1, PgHSF4, and PDH45 demonstrated improved growth, higher root development, and better water retention under drought conditions.
- The results indicated that these genetically modified plants had enhanced recovery capabilities from moisture stress and exhibited significant expression of stress-responsive genes, suggesting a positive impact on crop adaptation and productivity in challenging environments.
