Abstract excerpt
Immunomodulation is a means to modulate an organism's function by antibody production to capture either endogenous or exogenous antigens. We have recently succeeded in obtaining gibberellin (GA)-deficient phenotypes in Arabidopsis thaliana by using anti-bioactive GA antibodies. In this study, a single-chain antibody (scFv) against GA(24), a precursor GA, was utilized to repress the biosynthesis of bioactive...
