The development of strategies which enable growth to continue without excessive consumption of limited water resources has played a vital part in the evolution of plants which can survive in terrestrial environments. Research over the last two decades has established a clear role for plant hormones in governing the water economy of plants. By influencing stomatal behavior they can control the expenditure of water, and by regulating the growth and activities of roots, they can exert some control over the uptake of water. Our knowledge of the role of hormones in relation to stomatal functioning is now progressing rapidly and it is appropriate to devote most of this chapter to this topic. Studies of roots have not progressed so rapidly, but nevertheless we can also recognise an important participation of plant hormones in governing activities in roots, which may often complement effects on stomata to provide an integrated strategy for improving water balance.
