• QTL characterization of resistance to leaf rust and stripe rust in the spring wheat line Francolin#1 (2014, background): “APR is often nonrace specific and therefore durable, but it is quantitatively inherited and several loci are required to obtain adequate resistance levels (Singh et al. 2004).”
• The importance of plant health to food security (2010, background): “3) matched that described by Singh et al. (2004) for the Yr9-virulent race of P. striiformis, and this was considered the most likely route that Ug99 would take.”
• The challenges of maintaining wheat productivity: pests, diseases, and potential epidemics (2007, background): “%) million hectares, respectively, if susceptible cultivars are grown (Singh et al. 2005).”
• Global status of stripe rust: a review of historical and current threats (2011, background): “…of virulence for Yr9 in East Africa and the subsequent migration of this pathotype north and east through the majority of wheat producing regions in the Middle East (Syria, Turkey, Iran) and the Indian Subcontinent (Pakistan, India) caused considerable crop damage in the 1990s (Singh et al. 2004).”
• Global status of wheat leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina (2011, background): “In Mexico, during 2001, a BBG/BN derived race with virulence for Lr26 was identified in low frequency and designated BCG/BN (Singh et al. 2004a).”
• Current status, likely migration and strategies to mitigate the threat to wheat production from race Ug99 (TTKS) of stem rust pathogen (2006, methodology): “A good example of this type of dispersal mechanism would include the spread of yellow rust by a Yr9-virulent race of P. striiformis that evolved in eastern Africa and migrated to South Asia through the Middle East and West Asia in a step-wise manner over about 10 years, and caused severe epidemics i”
• Combating stem and leaf rust of wheat: Historical perspective, impacts, and lessons learned (2009, background): “The heavy use of the best slow rusting lines resulted in the wide distribution of slow rusting resistance genes within the CIMMYT spring wheat germplasm (Singh et al. 2004).”
• Wheat genetic resources enhancement by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) (2008, background): “However, earlier work done by Knott (1982), knowledge on durable resistance to leaf and yellow rusts (Singh et al. 2004), and observations made on breeding materials and a F6 mapping population involving ‘Pavon 76,’ indicate that the rate of rust progress is a function of the cumulative effect of…”
• Impacts of breeding on international collaborative wheat improvement (2006, background): “However, in the former, resistance may break down quite suddenly due to the biological interaction between pathogen and host, as occurred recently with durum wheat in NW Mexico (Singh et al. 2004b).”
