Description

The fungus forms a thin coating on host leaves, typically on young shoots and new branches. Podosphaeracurvispora, 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

The fungus was formally described in 1984 by Y. Nomura.
