Identification of the root rot pathogen in Lonicera japonica reveals significant implications for disease management.

Clonostachys rosea causes a root rot disease affecting Lonicera japonica, with an incidence rate of 45 to 70%.
Morphological and molecular tests confirmed the pathogen as Clonostachys rosea, using ITS and β-tubulin gene sequencing.
A phylogenetic analysis indicates that the isolate is closely related to known strains of Clonostachys rosea.
Following Koch's postulates, pathogenicity was confirmed with symptoms in plants after inoculation with conidia of isolate B1-V1.

Li et al. (2025) studied this question.
