Table 2.
Egg, larval production, and hatch rate of individual females from matings that included addition of wild-type and Bt21 mutant males at the same time
| B2t1 to wild-type male ratio | No. of eggs per female | No. of larvae per fertile female | Hatch rate of eggs from fertile females (%) |
| 0:1 | 75.1 ± 2.5 | 40.0 ± 3.5 | 30.3 ± 2.3 |
| 1:1 | 63.0 ± 4.8 | 36.2 ± 4.5 | 33.8 ± 3.2 |
| 3:1 | 62.5 ± 4.1 | 37.2 ± 5.0 | 32.6 ± 2.5 |
| 5:1 | 74.2 ± 2.0 | 57.6 ± 5.9 | 41.3 ± 1.6 |
| 10:1 | 61.7 ± 5.1 | 35.6 ± 7.0 | 31.9 ± 4.1 |
| 15:1 | 66.2 ± 4.3 | 45.5 ± 6.0 | 35.4 ± 3.1 |
| 20:1 | 64.8 ± 3.8 | 29.6 ± 4.7 | 29.6 ± 4.8 |
Shown are the raw data from the mating assays presented in Fig. 4 in which the B2t1 and wild-type males were introduced to the females simultaneously. The number of eggs produced by individual females, the number of larvae from each fertile female, and the egg hatch rate of the fertile female were calculated. There were no significant differences between the control (0:1) and other B2t1 to wild-type ratio conditions in terms of egg production, the number of larvae per fertile female, and the hatch rate of eggs from fertile females. Statistics were performed using one-way ANOVA with the Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.
