Abstract
- Metaseiulus occidentalis was transformed using a newly developed microinjection technique which utilizes the microinjection of early preblastoderm eggs within gravid females. Maternal injection was administered through the cuticle of gravid females into the egg or in the tissue immediately surrounding the egg. Transformation occurred in the sixth generation and the technique was found to show high levels of survival and transformation.
