Podosphaera curvispora is a species of powdery mildew in the family Erysiphaceae. It is found in East Asia and endemic to Japan, where it affects plants in the genus Sorbus.[1]
Description
[edit]The fungus forms a thin coating on host leaves, typically on young shoots and new branches. Podosphaera curvispora, like most Erysiphaceae, is highly host-specific and infects only a single genus.[1] Various other species also infect Sorbus, most notably Podosphaera aucupariae in Europe and North America. Podosphaera clandestina has been reported on the same hosts as P. curvispora in Japan.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]The fungus was formally described in 1984 by Y. Nomura.
