These fungi usually attack plants exposed to environmental stress like drought or plants that are already affected by other pathogens or pests. Diseases caused by these species result on fruit rots, leaf spots, wood necrosis and eventually tree death. Recent studies have identified the occurrence of four Botryosphaeriaceae genera in Portugal in different forest hosts. However, the diversity and distribution of these plant-pathogens in our country is still poorly understood. Several surveys were conducted across Portugal with aim to isolate and identify Botryosphaeriaceae-related diseases associated to the main forest tree species in Portugal (Quercus suber, Eucalyptus globulus and Pinus pinaster). Additionally, a meta-analysis was performed in order to compile and organize all records in Portugal. Twenty-two different Botryosphaeriaceae species were reported and 44 different plant hosts were recorded in several studies from agricultural crops to forest and ornamental species and it was possible to verify more than 100 host-pathogen interactions. In the national survey, 12 different Botryosphaeriaceae species were identified in 23 different plant-fungi interactions. We reported for the first time the occurrence of Diplodia insularis, Dothiorella plurivora and Dothiorella yunnana in Portugal and 8 new plant-fungi interactions. Pathogenicity tests reveal highly susceptibility of Quercus suber to Neofusicoccum parvum and N. eucalyptorum and Pinus pinaster to Diplodia corticola. These results show for the first time the Botryosphaeriaceae diversity and distribution across the country. } }
