Description
Diaporthales are primarily plant pathogens, causing diseases in various crops and trees. They often produce small, dark structures called perithecia on infected plant tissues. Some species can survive as endophytes within healthy plants. Diaporthales have a complex life cycle, alternating between sexual and asexual stages. Their spores are typically released during wet conditions for optimal dispersal.
