Genus
Agrilus
Species
planipennis
Common Name
Emerald ash borer
Description

The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, is a relatively new invasive pest that has killed millions of North American ash (Fraxinus spp.) trees in both managed and natural forests of northeastern and Midwestern states since its discovery in 2002.

EAB has invaded 15 states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin) and two Canadian provinces (Ontario and Quebec).

Economic cost of potential EAB damage to ash trees has been recently estimated to reach more than $10 billion with possible expansion of infestation to 25 States in the next 10 years.

Data were generated by the Baylor College of Medicine's i5k pilot project.

Genome update. Previously, the i5k Workspace@NAL hosted Whole genome assembly of Agrilus planipennis, Annotation v0.5.3 of the Agrilus planipennis assembly using MAKER (Baylor College of Medicine), and Functional annotation of Annotation v0.5.3 of the Agrilus planipennis assembly using MAKER (Baylor College of Medicine). The assembly and annotations have updated to the most recent assembly, Agrilus planipennis genome assembly Apla_2.0 (GCF_000699045.2)(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/genome/GCF_000699045.2/), NCBI Agrilus planipennis Annotation Release 101 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/annotation_euk/Agrilus_planipennis/101/), and Functional annotation of NCBI Agrilus planipennis Annotation Release 101 (https://i5k.nal.usda.gov/data/Arthropoda/agrpla-%28Agrilus_planipennis%29/Apla_2.0/2.Official%20or%20Primary%20Gene%20Set/).).
