Interpretive Summary: Sugarbeet is one of only two plants in the world from which sugar is widely produced. It accounts for 55% of U.S. sugar and 35% of global raw sugar with an annual farm value of $3 billion in the United States alone. The sugar beet root maggot is a devastating pathogen of sugar beet that can cause total crop failure.The previously released sugar beet root maggot (SBRM), Tetanops myopaeformis, genome release, TpSBRM_v1.0, has been annotated, providing gene functions that will aid in the study and control of this devastating pathogen.

Technical Abstract: 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 release, TpSBRM_v1.0, has been generated from the de novo assembled draft genome sequence of T. myopaeformis isolated from field-grown B. vulgaris in North Dakota, USA. The annotation of the T. myopaeformis is presented here. The annotated T. myopaeformis 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.
