Transgenic progenies from the same line were pooled together.

Corrected mortality was calculated using the following formula as described in Zhang & Tang 2004: Corrected Mortality rate on transgenic plants (%) = [(LMRT-LMRC)/(100-MRC)] × 100; Where LMRT: Larva Mortality rate (%) on transgenic plant, LMRC: Larva mortality rate (%) on control plants.
