Figure 4: Diet-Cry1Ac Performance.
Pupation success (N = 16–34 larvae per treatment), larval development time (N = 6–30 larvae per treatment), and pupal mass (N = 6–32 larvae per treatment) for larvae reared on diets with different protein-carbohydrate content, at different Cry1Ac concentrations (Experiment 2). Development (mean ± SEM) and pupal mass (mean ± SEM) were only recorded for larvae that pupated. Each column represents one of the three sub-lethal Cry1Ac concentrations: no Cry1Ac (panels a, d and g), 0.1 ppm (panels b, e and h) and 0.6 ppm (panels c, f and i). Within each panel the four diets are shown (p12:c30, p24:c18, p30:c12 and p39:c28). Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments (α = 0.05).
