Obtaining of transgenic French bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) resistant to the herbicide pursuit by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.

The transgenic plants of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) resistant herbicide Pursuit and kanamycin have been obtained. The genetic transformation was carried out with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 containing binary vector carrying mutant ahas/als and selective nptII genes. Integration of the transgenes into plant genome was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction.

[Production of transgenic pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants resistant to the herbicide pursuit].

Transgenic pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants containing mutant ahas/als gene were obtained using Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. Transformation has been carried out using cocultivation of pea explants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain lBA4404 carrying genetic vectors pCB004, pCB006 and pCB007 containing ahas/als and nptII genes.
