Summary of piggyBac based transformation experiments.

Exp	Donor plasmid	No of embryos injected	Hatched larvae	Number of adult G0	Female/male G0*	DsRED+ (#) G1
1	piggyBac-β2t	1640	152	80	42/38	15
2	piggyBac-Rad50	1750	151	101	58/43	13
3	piggyBac-Eno	1260	113	52	25/37	7

*Crossed the G₀ putative transgenic female with w^−/− male in single pair cross or in pool of two to four beetles and vice versa. G1 larvae were screened for the DsRED fluorescence in eye.
