ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to recombinant antibodies which bind toSclerotinia sclerotiorumantigens and comprise a single chain variable fragment (scFv). The antigen may be selected from SSPG1d or a portion thereof, aspartyl protease or a portion thereof, or wholeSclerotinia sclerotiorummycelium. The invention also provides an antibody linked to an anti-fungal polypeptide. The invention extends to nucleic acid sequences encoding the antibodies, and expression vectors comprising the nucleic acid sequences. The invention is also directed to transgenic plants, seeds, tissues or cells transformed with the expression vectors. Methods for producing a transgenic plant that is resistant toSclerotinia sclerotiorum, and for detectingSclerotinia sclerotiorumin a biological sample utilizing an antibody which binds toSclerotinia sclerotiorumantigen, and immunoassay kit for same are also provided.
