TF stands for transgenic female and WF stands for wild type female. TM stands for transgenic male and WM stands for wild-type male. PO stands for Post Oviposition.
Numbers from 42 h – 82 h PO represent larval counts.
N/A - after 58 hr all larvae had hatched and only transgenic female larvae were monitored for death.
Similar experiments have been repeated more than three times for each line with essentially the same results.
