This study investigated the antagonistic activity of against chickpea wilt through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The dual culture test showed that had a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of the tested isolates, with an inhibition rate ranging from 71.33% to 80.

- Leaf rust (LR), caused by Puccinia hordei, significantly impacts barley yields and grain quality globally, highlighting the need for new resistant varieties.
- A genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified 59 Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) linked to LR resistance across two barley subsets, with 10 associated with seedling resistance and 49 with adult plant resistance.
- The findings include novel QTL and candidate genes that can aid in marker-assisted selection, informing barley breeding programs to enhance resistance to leaf rust.
