Abstract :In recent years, shoot dieback, bud necrosis, leaf spots, vascular discoloration of wood and local or whole drying symptoms have dramatically increased in Turkey vineyards. It has been revealed from the standard mycological analysis that most of the causal agents were belong to the Botryosphaeriaceae fungi. Up to date, at least 21 species of this family have been reported as major pathogens of grapevine worldwide and 4 species were recorded first time in this year in Turkey. Species of Botryosphaeriaceae fungi have a wide-range of annual or perennial hosts. The species, having a cosmopolitan distribution, are recognized as opportunistic, seconder or latent pathogens. In this review, general information about Botryosphaeriaceae fungi on grapevine is presented.Keywords : Botryosphaeriaceae, Fungus, Kangren
