• The emergence of Ug99 races of the stem rust fungus is a threat to world wheat production. (2011, background): “Airflows out of Yemen during the 2009– 2010 winter season exhibited the same general pattern as in previous years, with air moving from Yemen to southern Iran on a regular basis.”
• Stem rust resistance in Aegilops tauschii germplasm (2011, background): “…TTKSK and variants described to date, most of the resistance genes have been introgressed from wild relatives of wheat (Singh et al., 2006; Jin et al., 2007) and have not been utilized extensively in agriculture because of linkage between these genes and deleterious factors (Singh et al., 2008).”
• Predictive Association between Biotic Stress Traits and Eco-Geographic Data for Wheat and Barley Landraces (2011, background): “…number of devastating rust epidemics in important wheat producing areas of countries such as Australia, Canada, and the United States, a long-term global collaboration to combat wheat rust was so successful that the stem rust reached almost nonsignifi cant levels by the 1990s (Singh et al., 2008).”
• Combating stem and leaf rust of wheat: Historical perspective, impacts, and lessons learned (2009, methodology): “New candidate durable type resistance genes are being studied as well as strengthening of the Sr2 complex for stem rust and more minor genes of additive effects for both rusts (Singh et al. 2008).”
• Advances in plant disease and pest management (2010, background): “…to monitor the emergence of novel variants of well-known pathogens, such as yellow rust (Milus et al. 2009), the Ug99 race of black stem rust (Singh et al. 2008) that is now threatening Africa, the Middle East and South West Asia (http://www.wheatrust.cornell.edu/about/index. html, verified…”
• Genetic Gains for Grain Yield in CIMMYT Spring Bread Wheat across International Environments (2012, background): “Other factors have also emerged, such as the eff ects of global warming (Ortiz et al., 2008) and race Ug99 of the stem rust fungus Puccinia graminis tritici (Singh et al., 2008), that threaten wheat cultivation, especially in developing countries.”
• Molecular genetics of race non-specific rust resistance in wheat (2011, unknown): “The identification of multiple stem rust APR genes in cultivars such as Kingbird and multiple APR genes to all three rusts in Parula ( Singh et al. 2008 ) makes these genotypes useful targets for resource development, such as BAC libraries for identifying diagnostic markers and the eventual cloning ”
• International surveillance of wheat rust pathogens: progress and challenges (2011, background): “Virulence analyses of isolates of Pgt from many countries by Huerta-Espino (1992) reported significant levels of avirulence for Sr28 Table 1 Wheat stem rust pathotypes identified within the ‘‘Ug99’’ lineage Pathotypea Standard raceb Differs from ‘‘Ug99’’ (TTKSK) Known geographic distribution Virulen”
