New trends in the field, such as the consideration of roots (rather than leaves) as the primary sensors of water stress, are examined in detail. – Addresses the role of water in the whole range of plant activities- Describes molecular mechanisms of water action in the context of whole plants- Synthesizes recent scientific findings- Relates current concepts to agriculture and ecology- Provides a summary of methods
