Resumo

As the most produced grain crop in the world, maize (Zea mays) is a cornerstone of the global agricultural economy. Technological innovations
in molecular genetics, environmental characterization, and predictive breeding have continued to drive genetic gain in maize, even for target populations of environments with high heterogeneity of water availability. Environments prone to drought stress remain key targets where genetic gain must continue to maintain a resilient food supply. Here we review advances towards improving maize drought tolerance; the review focused on molecular and physiological mechanisms underpinning drought tolerance, and methodologies that improve prediction of the genotype by environment interactions under drought conditions.
