The annotation of genomic dataset sequences of the sugar beet root maggot Tetanops myopaeformis, TmSBRM_v1.0

Tetanops myopaeformis, the sugar beet root maggot
(SBRM), is a devastating insect pathogen of sugar beet,
one of only two plants in the world from which sugar is
widely produced, accounting for 55% of U.S. sugar and
35% of global raw sugar with an annual farm value of $3
billion in the United States. T. myopaeformis is capable of
causing total crop failure, making its study important. The
previously released SBRM genome, TmSBRM_v1.0, has
been generated from the de novo assembled draft genome
sequence of T. myopaeformis isolated that was isolated
from field-grown B. vulgaris in North Dakota, USA. The
annotation of the T. myopaeformis is presented here. The
annotated T. myopaeformis genome should be useful in understanding
the biology of this insect and the development
of new control strategies for this pathogen, relationship to
model genetic organisms like Drosophila melanogaster
and aid in agronomic improvement of sugar beet for stakeholders
while also providing information on the relationship
between the SBRM and climate change.
