Abstract

Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AM) are major component of soil microbial communities in terrestrial ecosystems, which can form mutually beneficial symbiosis with 90% of vascular plants (Liu and Chen, 2007). A mycorrhizal structure, such as infection conditions, mycelial growth and development, is the material basis of function of carbuncular mycorrhizal symbiosis. Gallaud firstly proposed two types of carbuncular mycorrhiza in 1905, later carbuncular mycorrhiza were divided into three types: Arum-type (A-type), Paris-type (P- type) and Intermediate-types (I- type) (Smith and Smith, 1997). Today arbuscular mycorrhizal studies of Compositae are mostly focused on the common cultivated crops, such as Helianthus annus and wild plants Neopallasia pectinata, Artemisia argyi, A. eriopoda and Taraxacum mongolicum (Muthukumar and Tamilselvi, 2010; Bao and Yan, 2004) study on arbuscular type of invasive plants in Asteraceae has been rarely reported. In addition, the ability of AM fungi to form symbiotic associations with host plants and mycorrhizal effects are relative to many environmental factors, including elevation and soil factors.
