Several Bt maize events expressing various insecticidal Cry protein genes have been commercialized for management of western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). We used high efficacy (> 99.7%) experimental maize events that express mCry3A for selections under laboratory conditions to develop a western corn rootworm colony resistant to mCry3A at higher levels than published results. The resistance ratio (RR) to mCry3A was > 97-fold based on LC50 values in diet-based bioassays after six generations of selections when compared to that of an unselected Control colony. Using a sublethal seedling assay (SSA) method, we confirmed that the colony had no cross-resistance to maize event DAS-59122-7, which expresses Cry34/35Ab. Reciprocal crosses between the mCry3A-resistant colony and the susceptible colony were performed to test the inheritance of resistance. Larval survival and development evaluated by the SSA method indicated that resistance to mCry3A was inherited autosomally and was incompletely recessive (h = 0.23-0.25). Specific binding of mCry3A to brush border membrane vesicles of midgut tissue revealed reduced binding in the resistant colony when compared to binding in the susceptible colony. This is the first report where resistance in western corn rootworm has been shown to involve reduced binding of a Cry3-class protein in midgut tissue.
