The conditions of high efficient chicory transformation with Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigene ЕSAT6 have been determined. Transformation frequency was up to 86 % when the cotyledons were cultivated within 3 days without cefotaxime and then 1 day without kanamycine. DNA PCR-analysis has shown the presence both of selective nptII and target esxA genes in all analysed plants. At the same time RT-PCR has shown the presence of nptII transcripts for eight analysed lines and esxA transcripts for only five analysed lines.
