Various biotic and abiotic stresses affect plant growth and development. Among them, Drought stress also concerning abiotic stress that affects the growth and development of the plant. It can also affect the quality as well as quantity of agricultural produce and ultimately leads to plant death in severe stress conditions. Plants have different mechanisms to cope with these stresses. Secondary metabolites and phytohormones are the structures that play a major role in the plants surviving in that environment and overcoming the stressed conditions. Different plant hormones like Cytokinins, Ethylene, Brassinosteroids, Jasmonates, Abscisic acid, and Salicylic acid induces the accumulation of Osmolytes in the plant tissues, which helps the plants to survive under various abiotic stress conditions. In this review, we will discuss various roles and pathways of secondary metabolites and phytohormones along with their functions in the plants under drought stress.
