Which of the following is the incorrect prediction about ABA translocation in vascular tissue by both the xylem and the phloem?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. ABA synthesized in the roots can also be transported to the shoot via the xylem
  2. the concentration of ABA in the xylem sap of well-watered sunflower plants is between 1.0 and 15.0 nM, while in in waterstressed plants increases to as much as 3000 nM (3.0 µM )
  3. Concentration of 15.0 nM ABA in the apoplast is sufficient to close stomata, all of the ABA in the xylem stream reaches the guard cells
  4. ABA also is transported in a conjugated form, then released by hydrolysis in leaves.
