Abstract: Several factors affecting the vacuum infiltration transformation efficiency in Chinese cabbage (Brassica parachinensis Bailey) were studied.The developmental status of seedlings,vacuum infiltration time,type of Agrobacterium tumefaciens used,all influenced the transformation frequency.Via selection by herbicide Basta in the progeny and identification of the occurrence of the target gene by PCR, the transformation frequency was compared in different treatments.It was concluded that using the nopaline type of Agrobacterium,5 min vacuum infiltration,and using the plants with just several blooming flowers would give the best results.

Key words: Vacuum infiltration transformation, Insect-resistant genes, Non-heading Chinese cabbage
