SBRM-DB: Sugar beet root maggot database

Sugar beet (SB), <i>Beta vulgaris</i> ssp, vulgaris (<i>B. vulgaris</i>), 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. <i>Tetanops myopaeformis</i> (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 <i>T. myopaeformis</i> TmSBRM_v1.0 draft genome has been generated from DNA isolated from field-grown <i>B. vulgaris</i> from North Dakota, USA. A genome database for the annotated <i>T. myopaeformis</i> 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.
