Malpha-napthalene acetic acid (NAA) is a synthetic auxin that is typically employed when conducting auxin-plant experiments. Because natural auxin is light sensitive, resulting in experimental variation, this synthetic auxin compound proves an effective substitute. When conducting an experiment to test the effects of auxin on the vertical growth of plants, you create the following treatment conditions: 1) L = detipped plant (apical meristem removal) + lanolin 2) C = no detipping and no addition of NAA or lanolin 3) A = detipped plant (apical meristem removal) + lanolin + NAA After obtaining your results, you measure the vertical growth of your plants and obtain the following measurements: L= 15cm
C = 10cm
A = 20cm.

Based on our understanding of the effects of auxin on vertical growth, what conclusions can we make based on our findings?
