Table 4 Plasticity of upper lethal limits of mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) showing inter-breed variation

From: Effect of different lethal temperature assay methods on thermal tolerance plasticity of three different breeds of mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori L.)

ULT₅₀	BV	F1	NP
	37.8 ± 0.34^b	40.5 ± 0.407^a	39.3 ± 0.38^a
ULT₂₅	40.8 ± 0.474^b	43.5 ± 0.466^a	42.3 ± 0.422^ab

Values are means ± SEM, n = 27 per treatment group. Means in a row without a common superscript letter differ (p < 0.05) as analysed by one-way ANOVA and the Tukey test
