Water scarcity and demand for both fresh water and agriculture have overgrown in the last decades, as more than two-thirds of the fresh water in the world are consumed in agriculture (FAO, 2017). About 96% of Egypt's are deserts, leaving only 4% of cultivated lands that are threatened by urbanism and stresses especially drought (Gad, 2020). The frequency and severity of drought events, especially in the Mediterranean basin, have been predicted to increase shortly (Tramblay et al., 2020). Drought has great impacts on the growth, physiology, and biochemistry of several plant species (Jafari et al., 2019), and its effects are expected to exaggerate as global temperature increases. It has been reported that drought stress can directly cause a wide range of injury symptoms in plants, such as limited
