Abstract:
Sugar beet (SB), Beta vulgaris ssp, vulgaris (B. vulgaris), is one of only two plants in the world from which significant amounts of raw sugar is produced. This value of sugar, derived from SB, is 55% in the United States and 35% of global raw sugar with an annual farm worth in the U.S. alone of $1B, $4.6B globally. Tetanops myopaeformis (von Röder), the sugar beet root maggot (SBRM), is a devastating insect pathogen of SB and the most devastating SB pathogen in North America, decreasing production by up to 100%. The T. myopaeformis TmSBRM_v1.0 draft genome has been generated from DNA isolated from field-grown B. vulgaris from North Dakota, USA. A genome database for the annotated T. myopaeformis TmSBRM_v1.0 draft genome, SBRM database, has been generated and is presented here with the aim of aiding in agronomic improvement of SB for stakeholders.
