#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. Only  the level of auxin lowered
  2. Only the level of GA1 in the upper stem drops sharply
  3. Not only is the level of auxin lowered because its source has been removed, but the level of GA1 in the upper stem drops sharply
  4. The level of auxin lowered because its source has been removed, but the level of GA1 in the upper stem increase sharply
