Control of this once-considered most damaging pest of corn in North America is now threatened by the evolution of practical resistance to PIPs in Bt corn. Practical resistance to the Cry1F protein has been detected in eastern Canada, and cases of resistance to the other available Bt PIPs (Cry1Ab, Cry1A.105, and Cry2Ab) are starting to emerge in Canada and the USA. A proactive insect resistance management (IRM) plan greatly benefits from an effective resistance monitoring program. Accordingly, the development and implementation of high-throughput DNA-based resistance monitoring could bring substantial benefits to IRM for Bt corn. In this study, we report the development and testing of a highly multiplexed (HiPlex) targeted sequencing panel amplifying the ABC transporter subfamily C2 gene in O. nubilalis (OnABCC2), a proposed Cry1F receptor altered in resistant O. nubilalis. Using this molecular diagnostic tool, we identified polymorphisms associated with practical O. nubilalis resistance to Cry1F and examined their frequency in O. nubilalis populations collected in four Canadian provinces. The results identify disruptive mutations in OnABCC2 as closely associated with the Cry1F resistance phenotype and support the use of HiPlex targeted sequencing in monitoring for O. nubilalis resistance to Bt PIPs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jee\/toag248","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]],"date-time":"2026-08-28T12:45:56Z","timestamp":1787921156000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["New tools for an old pest: HiPlex targeted sequencing for\n                    <i>Bt<\/i>\n                    corn resistance screening in\n                    <i>Ostrinia nubilalis<\/i>\n                    (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) from Canada"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"given":"Yasmine","family":"Farhan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environmental Sciences, University of Guelph, Ridgetown Campus , Ridgetown, ON,","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1012-9399","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tom","family":"Ruttink","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plant Sciences Unit, Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (ILVO) , Melle,","place":["Belgium"]},{"name":"Department of Plant Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, Faculty of Sciences, Ghent University , Ghent,","place":["Belgium"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heba","family":"Abdelgaffar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, University of Tennessee , Knoxville, TN,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Tandy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, University of Tennessee , Knoxville, TN,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6407-8825","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kurt","family":"Lamour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, University of Tennessee , Knoxville, TN,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6747-9798","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jocelyn L","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environmental Sciences, University of Guelph, Ridgetown Campus , Ridgetown, ON,","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8945-1814","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Luis","family":"Jurat-Fuentes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, University of Tennessee , Knoxville, TN,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026082801031894600_toag248-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ibmb.2019.01.002","article-title":"Midgut metabolomic profiling of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) with field-evolved resistance to Cry1F corn","volume":"106","author":"Abdelgaffar","year":"2019","journal-title":"Insect Biochem.
