Parameter values for four genetic strains of Manduca used to generate model results shown in Figure 11
| Strain | ||||
| Parameter | B | W | H | D |
| W0 (g) | 0.9 | 1.25 | 1.3 | 1.45 |
| CW (g) | 3.5 | 5.2 | 6.4 | 7.0 |
| ICG | 1.25 | 1.0 | 1.5 | 1.5 |
| GR (g/day) | 1.5 | 2.2 | 2.4 | 2.4 |
| W(t) | 3.4 | 4.7 | 5.5 | 6.1 |
| t (days) | 2.5 | 2.5 | 2.5 | 2.5 |
| Peak weight (g) | 5.9 | 7.7 | 10.2 | 10.8 |
| SD | 0.6 | 0.6 | 1.1 | 1.2 |
The average peak weight and standard deviation (SD) for each strain are shown. W0, initial weight of fifth instar larvae; CW, critical weight; ICG, interval to cessation of growth, that is, the interval between attainment of the critical weight and the secretion of PTTH; GR, growth rate; W(t), weight at time t (2.5 days in all cases reported here).
