An overview of short-term and long-term morphological, physiological, and biochemical changes in plants towards drought stress. The short-term changes include osmotic adjustment in roots, signaling transport, stomatal closure, decrease of carbon assimilation, assimilation of transport, decrease in expansion and leaf number and ultimately growth inhibition. Long-term changes include turgor maintenance, sustained root growth, increase of root/shoot and absorption area, osmotic adjustment and many more leads toward drought acclimation
