The Top 10 fungal pathogens in molecular plant pathology. (2012, background): “As a result of its adaptive capacity, fitness and virulence attributes (90% of the world’s wheat is susceptible), the Ug99 race group has been recognized as a major threat to food security (Flood, 2010; McIntosh and Pretorius, 2011; Singh et al., 2011; Vurro et al., 2010).”
