The Top 10 fungal pathogens in molecular plant pathology. (2012, background): “The occurrence of race Ug99 of Pgt in East Africa with virulence for Sr31 (Pretorius et al., 2000), a commonly used resistance gene, has renewed stem rust research (Singh et al., 2011).”
Genomic Prediction of Genetic Values for Resistance to Wheat Rusts (2012, background): “For example, gene Sr25 confers a high level of stem rust resistance only when operating in some genetic backgrounds and especially when gene Sr2 is also present (Singh et al., 2011).”
Raising Crop Productivity in Africa through Intensification (2017, background): “Among these, a devastating wheat stem rust called Ug99 is not only the major threat in Africa but also globally, since 90% of the wheat varieties grown worldwide are susceptible to this pathogen [23].”
The global spread of crop pests and pathogens (2014, methodology): “Africa had 30 endemic CPPs, Asia 102, Europe 20, North America 28, the Pacific 29, while the Middle East had none.”
Durum Wheat (Triticum durum Desf.): Origin, Cultivation and Potential Expansion in Sub-Saharan Africa (2019, background): “In fact, South Africa has been monitoring a growing threat of Karnal Bunt disease [94], while Uganda is the first country where the devastating stem rust race Ug99 was observed, before it spread to the neighbouring countries [95].”
Status of Wheat Rust Research and Progress in Rust Management-Indian Context (2019, background): “So far more than 15 countries are reporting standardized field survey and surveillance data on wheat rust disease incidence and severity, and this number is expected to rise further in the near future [24].”
Synthetic Hexaploids: Harnessing Species of the Primary Gene Pool for Wheat Improvement (2013, background): “This was also evident in the reports of the successful development of high yielding Ug99 resistant SBLs in CIMMYT (Singh et al. 2011a,b) and ICARDA (Abdalla et al. 2011).”
One stop shop: backbones trees for important phytopathogenic genera: I (2014) (2014, background): “graminis remain a threat with the emergence of races such as Ug99 (Singh et al. 2011).”
