Figure 3

Effects of Vip3_AB and Vip3_BA chimeras on insect weight after 5 days of exposure on diet overlay bioassay. Bars represent the average mass of 16 insects per treatment with standard error of the mean. Statistical analysis was performed as described in Materials and Methods for comparing insect weight under Vip3_AB or Bip3_BA chimera treatments to that of untreated controls. Asterisks indicate a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in mass relative to untreated controls.
