ISBN/EAN: 978-90-70351-97-7.The present issue of Studies in Mycology revises the Botryosphaeriales, which represents a well-known order containing numerous plant pathogenic fungi associated with fruit rot, leaf spots, die-back, gummosis and cankers of Angiosperms (e.g. Botryosphaeria, Diplodia, Phyllosticta, Sphaeropsis, etc.), though some members are also associated with root rot (e.g. Macrophomina). Although the order has only recently been introduced (Schoch et al. 2006), and presently contains two families, Botryosphaeriaceae and Planistromellaceae (Minnis et al. 2012), it is clear that several taxa could not be well accommodated in this familial structure (Liu et al. 2012). The present issue focuses firstly on resolving the families that occur in the order, and secondly focuses on the species that are known from culture and DNA data, providing morphological keys to their identification, and associated DNA barcodes.
