The family Botryosphaeriaceae belongs to the order Botryosphaeriales and consists of a group of fungi commonly referred to as botryosphaeriaceous fungi. Members of this family are primarily plant pathogens and endophytes, infecting a wide range of woody plants, including fruit trees, ornamentals, and forest species. They are known for causing cankers, dieback, leaf spots, and fruit rots, often becoming more aggressive under environmental stress conditions such as drought or injury. Botryosphaeriaceae species have a cosmopolitan distribution and exhibit diverse reproductive strategies, producing both sexual (ascospores) and asexual (conidia) spores, which facilitate their spread. Due to their role in plant diseases and latent infections, they are of significant concern in agriculture and forestry.
