Abstract excerpt
Immunomodulation is a means to modulate an organism's function by antibody production to capture either endogenous or exogenous antigens. This method was applied to plants to repress the function of gibberellins (GAs), a class of phytohormones responsible for plant elongation, by anti-bioactive GA antibodies. Two different antibodies were produced in Arabidopsis as single-chain variable fragment (scFv) fused to...
