An assembly of genomic dataset sequences of the sugar beet root maggot Tetanops myopaeformis, TpSBRM_v1.0

The sugar beet root maggot (SBRM), Tetanops myopaeformis (von Röder), is a devastating 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 $3 billion in the United States alone. SBRM is the most devastating pathogen of sugar beet in North America. 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. The SBRM genome sequence will also be valuable for molecular genetic marker development to facilitate host resistance gene identification and knowledge, including SB polygalacturonase inhibiting protein (PGIP), and development of new control strategies for this pathogen.
