CMe-CPI.3 | 3.71 (n = 14, p = 0.053) | 3.63 (n = 11, p = 0.630) | 2.18 (n = 11, p = 0.302) | 3.00 (n = 11, p = 0.997) | 12 (n = 10, p = 0.069) |

CPI.1 | 3.80 (n = 15, p = 0.023) | 3.06 (n = 15, p = 0754) | 2.00 (n = 14, p = 0.033) | 2.27 (n = 11, p = 0.196) | 11.27 (n = 11, p = 0.999) |
WT | 3.07 (n = 14) | 3.21 (n = 14) | 2.57 (n = 14) | 2.83 (n = 14) | 11.25 (n = 12) |
Few days delay in the first instar is observed on larvae fed with leaves of the CPI.1 transgenic plant. In larvae fed with leaves of the other transgenic lines no significant difference was observed. p values in bold indicate significant differences
