Botryosphaeria sp. It is a genus of pathogenic fungi that affects various plant species, including avocado. This fungus is known for its ability to survive in plant remains and woody tissues. The sporangia produce spores that are released and dispersed by wind and water. When the spores find a wound or cut on the plant, they germinate and colonize the internal tissues. The fungus develops specialized structures, such as mycelium and pycnidia, that allow it to invade woody tissues, causing necrosis and cellular degradation. Infection can persist for long periods, especially under favorable conditions of high humidity and moderate temperatures. Botryosphaeria sp. It reproduces both asexually, through the production of conidia, and sexually, through ascospores that develop in structures known as perithecia.
