• Fusarium wilt of chickpea: physiological specialization, genetics of resistance and resistance gene tagging (2007, background): “Slow rusting and slow mildewing resistances in other crops are usually governed by polygenes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) which have additive eVect (Singh et al. 2000, 2005; Xu et al. 2005a, b).”
• Stem rust of wheat in Australia (2007, background): “(Sr9b) soon after release (Table 5) was attributed byWaterhouse (1952) and Watson (1958) to independent mutational changes in Pgt, which resulted in the pathogen acquiring virulence for each resistance gene.”
• Will stem rust destroy the world's wheat crop? (2008, background): “Accumulation of between 4 and 5 genes is therefore expected to retard disease progress to rates that result in negligible disease levels at maturity under high disease pressure, described as ‘‘near-immunity’’ by Singh et al. (2000).”
• Genetic Gains for Grain Yield in CIMMYT Spring Bread Wheat across International Environments (2012, background): “More recently, breeding for durable resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) and yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis) that is based on minor genes has resulted in high yielding wheat genotypes that show near immunity to these two rusts (Singh et al., 2000, 2005, 2007).”
• Race non-specific resistance to rust diseases in CIMMYT spring wheats (2011, background): “In the early 1990s, once the genetic bases and diversity of slow rusting resistances became clearer, high-yielding lines that combined four or five additive, minor genes for both leaf rust and stripe rust resistances showing near-immune levels of resistance were developed through 3- and 4-way crosse”

• Molecular mapping of adult plant stripe rust resistance in wheat and identification of pyramided QTL genotypes (2010, background): “APR genes individually provide low levels of resistance and combinations of three or more genes are essential to express commercially adequate levels of resistance (Bariana and McIntosh 1993; Singh et al. 2000; Bariana et al. 2007a).”

• Evaluation of seedling and adult plant resistance to stem rust in European wheat cultivars (2007, background): “Recent studies of APR to stripe rust and leaf rust in wheat that have established that combinations of genes of small affect can confer higher levels of resistance (Singh et al. 2000).”
• Wheat genetic resources enhancement by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) (2008, background): “Accumulation of four to five slow-rusting, minor genes is therefore expected to retard disease progress to rates that result in negligible disease levels at maturity under high disease pressure, described as ‘‘near-immunity’’ by Singh et al.

(2000) developed derivatives of the two most popular cultivars, PBW343 and Inqualab 91, in South Asia that not only carried high levels of oligogenic adult-plant, durable resistance to leaf rust and stripe rust, but also had superior grain yield potential.”
