Egg counts for transgenic and non-transgenic females.

Myr-AsteAkt-HA transgenic and non-transgenic siblings were allowed to bloodfeed. Fully engorged females were placed into individual cages, provided with an oviposition substrate, and the number of eggs laid counted. Results are presented for each replicate separately, including the number of females tested (N), the mean number of eggs laid ± SEMs, and the p-value of the Wilcoxon test. Egg count data were subjected to a nonparametric Wilcoxon test. The numbers of females that did not lay eggs in the first replicate were not recorded.
