Survival and weight gain for L. oleracea larvae fed diets containing purified recombinant proteins. (A). Survival of third stadium L. oleracea larvae fed for 12 days on control diet or diets containing recombinant ButaIT/GNA at 4.5 % dietary protein. (B) Mean weight of third stadium L. oleracea larvae fed for 12 days on control diet or diets containing recombinant ButaIT/GNA at 4.5 % and 2.5 % dietary protein, or recombinant GNA at 5 % dietary protein. Data has been combined for 2 assays carried out under the same conditions, and thus data for two control treatments is provided. n = 20 per treatment (control total n = 40). Points and bars denote mean ± SE.
