The de novo sequencing, assembly, annotation, gene expression, and public database housing genomic dataset sequences for the sugar beet root maggot Tetanops myopaeformis, TmSBRM_v1.0.

The sugar beet root maggot (SBRM), Tetanops myopaeformis (von Röder), is a devastating insect pathogen of sugar beet (SB), Beta vulgaris, ssp. vulgaris (B. vulgaris), an important food crop, while also being one of only two plants globally from which sugar is widely produced, and accounting for 35% of global raw sugar with an annual farm value of $1 billion in the United States alone. The limited natural resistance of B. vulgaris necessitates an understanding of the SBRM genome to facilitate generating knowledge of its basic biology, including the interaction between the pathogen and its host(s). Presented is the de novo assembled draft genome sequence of T. myopaeformis isolated from field-grown B. vulgaris in North Dakota, USA. Additional work includes its annotation, gene expression, and a web base to access the available information. The SBRM genome sequence TmSBRM_v1.is valuable for molecular genetic marker development to facilitate host resistance gene identification and knowledge, and aid in agronomic improvement and management of sugar beet for stakeholders while also providing information on the relationship between the SBRM and climate change.
