Genome-wide association study (GWAS) technology has become an important means to reveal the genetic basis of crop resistance. By analyzing a large number of genetic and phenotypic data, GWAS helps to identify key genes and genetic markers related to resistance. The aim of this study was to comprehensively analyze the latest progress of molecular genetic mechanism of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) resistance by GWAS method, introduce the application basis of GWAS technology in plant science, and focus on its application cases in the study of barley resistance to abiotic stresses such as drought tolerance, salt tolerance and low temperature tolerance. This study will also explore current research challenges and look forward to the future direction of combining multi-omics data and advanced bioinformatics tools to more in-depth analysis of genetic mechanisms of barley resistance. This study provides a new perspective and strategy for improving barley resistance by molecular genetics, which is of great significance for the sustainable development of agriculture.
