Select the odd one out with respect to functions of gibberellin:
1.
They delay senescence, thus, due to their application the fruits can be left on the tree so as to extend the market period
2.
GA3 is used to speed up the malting process in brewing industry
3.
Spraying sugarcane crop with GA increases the length of stem, thus increasing the yield by as much as 20 tonnes per acre
4.
Spraying juvenile conifers with GA slows down the maturity period thus leading to delayed seed production

Seed packets give a recommended planting depth for the enclosed seeds. The most likely reason some seeds are to be covered with only \({ 1\over 4}\) inch of soil is that these :
1. Seeds do not have an etiolation response
2. Seeds of some kind require light to germinate
3. Seeds require a very high temperature to germinate
4. Do not produce hypocotyl
