Abstract

Transgenic plants and cell lines of sugar beet carrying Spm/dSpm system of maize transposable elements have been obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. A heterologous system of mobile elements Spm/dSpm remains active in the genome of sugar beet that permit of transposon-based gene tagging and obtaining of marker-free transgenic sugar beet.
