• Combating stem and leaf rust of wheat: Historical perspective, impacts, and lessons learned (2009, background): “All of these probably affected the advent of the new stem rust race, Ug99, identified in 1998 in Uganda by William Wagoire, and rendered previously resistant lines susceptible to stem rust (Pretorius et al. 2000).”
• Characterization of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici isolates derived from an unusual wheat stem rust outbreak in Germany in 2013 (2017, background): “Since first reported in Uganda (Pretorius et al., 2000), the TTKS (or Ug99) race group has been rapidly evolving and expanding its geographical range.”
• Status of Wheat Rust Research and Progress in Rust Management-Indian Context (2019, background): “Although well-controlled for many years, this disease reemerged as a threat with the detection of Ug99, a race with virulence on Sr31 that was first isolated from Uganda in 1998 [22].”
• Current status, likely migration and strategies to mitigate the threat to wheat production from race Ug99 (TTKS) of stem rust pathogen (2006, background): “Race Ug99, first identified in Uganda during 1999 [12], is the only known race of P.”
• Wheat leaf and stem rust in the United States (2007, background): “Stem rust race TTKS, found recently in East Africa (Pretorius et al. 2000; Wanyera et al. 2006) was the first stem rust race to have virulence to genes Sr31 and Sr38.”
• The emergence of Ug99 races of the stem rust fungus is a threat to world wheat production. (2011, background): “A new race with novel virulence on resistance gene Sr31 was detected and designated as Ug99 (36).”
• Genetic analysis of rust resistance genes in global wheat cultivars: an overview (2015, background): “stem rust race, was first identified in Uganda in 1999 [86] and then spread to Kenya in 2001 and to Ethiopia in”
• The Top 10 fungal pathogens in molecular plant pathology. (2012, background): “Seven variants within the Ug99 lineage have been reported, varying in virulence for Sr21, Sr24, Sr31 and Sr36 (Singh et al., 2011).”
• The importance of plant health to food security (2010, background): “Black stem rust of wheat (Ug99) Race Ug99 ofP. graminis tritici was discovered in Uganda in 1998 and reported in 1999 (Pretorius et al. 2000).”
• Predictive Association between Biotic Stress Traits and Eco-Geographic Data for Wheat and Barley Landraces (2011, background): “Pretorius et al. (2000) discovered that this new stem rust race Ug99 showed virulence against the widely used Sr31 stem rust resistance gene in wheat.”
• Diagnostic microsatellite markers for the detection of stem rust resistance gene Sr36 in diverse genetic backgrounds of wheat (2008, background): “Even though Sr36 does not provide a high level of resistance against a wide range of stem rust races, it is still a valuable gene because it is the best available source of resistance to the new race of stem rust, Ug99.”
• Stem rust resistance in Aegilops tauschii germplasm (2011, background): “In 1999, isolates of Pgt from Uganda, reported under the race name Ug99, were found to possess virulence to the majority of stem rust resistance genes used in agriculture (Pretorius et al., 2000).”
• Evaluation of seedling and adult plant resistance to stem rust in European wheat cultivars (2007, background): “The first was reported by Huerta-Espino (1992) from Turkey and the second was from Uganda ( Pretorius et al. 2000 ).”
• Challenges to wheat production in South Asia (2007, background): “South Asia are susceptible to this race due to preponderance of Sr31 gene in these lines (Pretorius et al. 2000; Singh et al. 2006).”
• Stem rust of wheat in Australia (2007, background): “The recent discovery of a new and widely virulent pathotype of Pgt in east Africa, Ug99 (Pretorius et al. 2000), and its significant effect on diverse sources of germplasm (Wanyera et al.”
• Will stem rust destroy the world's wheat crop? (2008, background): “In 1998, severe stem rust infections were observed on wheat in Uganda, and a race, designated as Ug99 with virulence on Sr31, was detected (Pretorius et al., 2000).”
• Wheat improvement in India: present status, emerging challenges and future prospects (2007, background): “The causal race, known as Ug99 and designated as TTKS based on the North American nomenclature, carries virulence for several genes commonly present in wheat germplasm including Sr31 ( Pretorius et al. 2000 ), known to be present in several leading Indian spring wheat cultivars.”
