Descriptions
Taphrina deformans (Berk.) Tul. 1866
Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Ascomata none. Asci cylindric-clavate, 20–50 × 7–15 μm, with stalk cells; lining the upper surfaces of swollen and distorted portions of leaves. Ascospores globose, 0-septate, 3–7 μm in diameter, smooth, hyaline, budding freely in the ascus and filling it.
Distribution: Auckland, Gisborne, Nelson, Mid Canterbury, Central Otago, Chatham Islands.; 1st Record: Kirk (1894).
Significance: Leaf curl is a common and destructive disease of peaches and nectarines; it is less common on apricots. Fortunately, it is easily controlled with a single annual application of an appropriate fungicide (Atkinson 1971). Infected leaves are swollen and distorted and change in colour to a light green with red and purple tints, finally turning brown as necrosis develops.; Host(s): Prunus armeniaca, P. dulcis, P. persica, P. persica var. nucipersica.
