Objectives or Summary:

Botryosphaeriaceae, a family of sac fungi (Ascomycetes), is the typical representative of the Botryosphaeriales order. The fungi of this family are usually connected with cankers and dieback in shrubs and woody plants. The objective of this investigation is to distinguish between a virulent Neoscytalidium species, with almost similar morphological characteristics that affect eucalyptus and chinaberry trees in Iraq, using the reliable PCR primers (ITS, LSU, and Bt2a) and understand the phylogenetic analysis of these species
