Abstract	Net blotch (NB) and powdery mildew (PM) are major barley diseases with the potential to cause a dramatic loss in grain yield. Breeding for resistant barley genotypes in combination with identifying candidate resistant genes will accelerate the genetic improvement for resistance to NB and PM. To address this challenge, a set of 122 highly diverse barley genotypes from 34 countries were evaluated for NB and PM resistance under natural infection for in two growing seasons. Moreover, four yield traits; plant location (Ph), spike length (SL), spike weight (SW), and the number of spikelets per spike (NOS) were recorded. High genetic variation was found among genotypes in all traits scored in this study. No significant phenotypic correlation was found in the resistance between PM and NB. Immune genotypes for NB and PM were identified. A total of 21 genotypes were immune to both diseases. Of the 21 genotypes, the German genotype HOR_9570 was selected as the most promising genotype that can be used for future breeding programs. Furthermore, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was used to identify resistant alleles to PM and NB. The results of GWAS revealed a set of 14 and 25 significant SNPs that were associated with increased resistance to PM and NB, respectively. This study provided very important genetic res that are highly resistant to the Egyptian PM and NB pathotypes and revealed SNP markers that can be utilized to genetically improve resistance to PM and NB.
