Abstract

The false spider mite Brevipalpus yothersi infests a broad host plant range and has become one of the most economically important species within the genus Brevipalpus. This phytophagous mite inflicts damage by both feeding on plants and transmitting plant viruses. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of the false spider mite, which is also the first plant virus mite vector to be sequenced. The similar to 72 Mb genome (sequenced at 42x coverage) encodes similar to 16,000 predicted protein-coding genes. (AU)
