Table 3. Weights of tobacco hornworm larvae feeding on N. benthamiana T2 homozygous plants transformed with the BvSTI gene.
Transformants | 0 days | 4 days | 6 days | 10 days |
11-4 | 0.3±.02b (5) | 1.0±0.1a (5) | 1.9±0.3a (5) | 5.0±0.8a (5) |
11-6 | 0.3±.01b (5) | 1.1±0.2b (5) | 1.9±0.3a (5) | 6.1±0.9b (5) |
11-13 | 0.3±.01b (5) | 0.8±0.1a (5) | 1.5±0.2a (5) | 4.5±1.0a (5) |
Control | 0.3±.01b (5) | 1.5±0.2b (4) | 3.7±0.5b (4) | 8.1±0.6b (4) |
Values represent mean larval weight ± SE (g).
Means followed by the same superscript within columns are not significantly different (P<0.05) by one-way ANOVA test. Number in parenthesis indicates the number of living larvae out of 5 that were weighed.
