A method of Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) by vacuum infiltration has been developed. Transgenic sugarbeet plants of Ukraine breeding were selected for their resistance either to the antibiotic kanamycin or to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium. Integration of transgenes was confirmed by PCR and GUS-assay.
