Table 1. Experimental treatments of feeding assay with Osmia bicornis larvae.

Pollen type of provision Additive Concentration
Transgenic OC-1 pollen H2O 0.004–0.009%a
rOC-1 0.1%
GNA 0.01%
Pollen from isoline GNA 0.1%
Cry1Ab 0.01%
H2O 0% (control)

Larval pollen provisions were collected and processed by nesting bees. Provisions containing non-transgenic pollen from the isoline were manually ‘spiked’ with insecticidal protein dissolved in water to achieve the test concentrations indicated (w∶w). aPercentage OC-1 of total soluble protein in pollen extract, determined by dot-blot immunoassay. Abbreviations: OC-1, oryzacystatin-1; rOC-1, recombinant OC-1; GNA, Galanthus nivalis agglutinin.
