Antibodies are known to affect the morphology, growth, and metabolism of mollicutes and thus may serve as candidate molecules for a plantibody-based control strategy for plant-pathogenic spiroplasmas and phytoplasmas. Recombinant single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies are easy to engineer and express in plants, but their inhibitory effects on mollicutes have never been evaluated and compared with those of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. We describe the morphology, growth, and glu ...[more]
