Which of the following are functions of gibberellins in plants?
1. Promoting seed germination, stimulating stem elongation, triggering the flowering process.
2. Enhancing the ripening of fruits, increasing root growth, promoting leaf abscission.
3. Inducing root nodulation, decreasing seed dormancy, reducing fruit set.
4. Suppressing stem growth, delaying flowering, enhancing leaf senescence.
