Abstract: The procedure of cucumber trans formation was established by s tudying factors such as types of explants,cotransformation with Agrobacterium tume fac iens and adding acetosyringone or not etc. The antiherbicide gene bar was transferred into the c otyledons of the cucumber father M1 by Agrobacterium tume faciens and the t rans formed cucumber lines were obtained by taking through the proces s of cal lus di fferentiation, shooting and rooting.The PCR detection showed 13 lines showed the existence of the bar gene fragment. T1 plants were got by selfcrossing of T0 plants, 84% of which showed higher resis tance to 1 000 dilution of the herbicide of BASTA.

Key words: Cucumber, Bar gene, Transformation, Resistance characterization
