Description
Phomopsis is a diverse group of plant-associated fungi. Many species are plant pathogens, causing diseases like cankers, dieback, and fruit rot in various crops and trees. Some phomopsis species produce beneficial compounds with potential medical applications. They typically form small, dark structures called pycnidia on infected plant tissues, which release spores to spread the fungus.
