  1. The intrinsic rate of increase (r), net reproductive rate (R0), finite rate of increase (λ), and generation time (T). The data of treatments were compared by using the paired bootstrap test. Values are means ± standard errors; Asterisk (*) indicates P < 0.05 difference between WT and mutant strains
