Figure 3. Statistical analysis of the embryos hatching rate and transposition efficiency.

Figure 3

(a) The hatching rate is directly related to the concentration of pESNT-PBase mRNA injected. The hatching rate was significantly reduced by increasing the microinjection concentration. (b) Statistical analysis of the transposition efficiency indicates that 200 ng/μL of pESNT-PBase mRNA is the optimal concentration for obtaining the highest transposition efficiency and a moderate hatching rate (ESNT-PB-200a series transgenic strains). (c,d) The TALE-PBase fusion can significantly enhance the transposition frequency and maintain transposition at a high level (ESNT-PB-200a, ESNT-PB-200b and ESNT-PB-HSA), even using a larger PB transposon plasmid and in a new silkworm strain. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, using a significance test for percentage of two samples.
