Life cycle
Komatsu et al. found that hyphae of T. wiesneri overwintered in symptomatic shoots of Cerasus × yedoensis. This is in contrast with the overwintering of other Taphrina species such as Taphrina deformans that over winter on leaf and twig surfaces before initiating infection.[1]
gollark: I should see if I can make osmarks.net support QUIC.
gollark: Hmm, troubling, I'm not sure if QUIC supports unreliable packets too. I guess you can just send those as plain UDP.
gollark: Byzantine_generals_problem_irl.
gollark: QUIC is very widely used in web browsers so it *is* supported on Windows.
gollark: QUIC runs over UDP and supports multiple independent data streams also.
