i5K Comments for Diabrotica virgifera
The western corn rootworm is the worst pest of maize in the US, and continues to invade Europe. It has shown an exceptional ability to evolve resistance to chemical, cultural, and transgenic methods of management, and will likely be a pest on perrenial grasses grown as biofuels. The genome sequence will establish this insect as the translational genomics model for underground beetle pests. The ARS lab in Brookings, SD (NGIRL) has developed and maintains an inbred colony for use in sequencing. Thomas Sappington
