Description
Diaporthaceae are plant pathogens that cause diseases in various crops and trees. They produce tiny, flask-shaped structures called perithecia that release spores. Some species can survive in plant debris, allowing them to persist in fields. These fungi often enter plants through wounds or natural openings, causing cankers, wilting, and dieback symptoms in affected hosts.
