Abstract

Invasive species, including more than three dozen Asteraceae, such as Solidago canadensis, Leucanthemum vulgare, Senecio inaequidens etc, pose serious threat to ecosystem health. Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is a key factor for distribution of invasive species of some Asteraceae tribes, including Astereae, Anthemideae, Senecioneae, Gnaphalieae, Cardueae, and Cichorieae. The formation of invasion-friendly plant communities has occurred through increasing nutrient and water availability, hormonal regulation, production of bioactive compounds, and mycorrhiza-induced resistance of host plants. Native species are displaced through the influence on soil microbiota, mycorrhizal and nutrient status of neighboring plants, and several other parameters. Allelopathic influences and symbiotic interactions with bacteria and other fungi can inhibit these processes. Understanding the mycorrhizal status of invasive weeds, in our opinion, is a necessary condition for their successful control.

For invasive species like Solidago canadensis (Astereae), Helianthus tuberosus (Heliantheae), and Echinops sphaerocephalus (Cardueae), it was shown that arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) and common mycorrhizal networks (CMN) contribute to their distribution and introduction successes (Bongard et al, 2013; Dong et al, 2015, 2021, Awaydul et al, 2018, Řezáčová et al, 2020, Nacoon et al, 2021)

Summary

DOES ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZA FAVOR INVASION OF SOME ASTERACEAE TRIBES?

Invasive species, including more than three dozen Asteraceae, such as Solidago canadensis, Leucanthemum vulgare, Senecio inaequidens etc, pose serious threat to ecosystem health. Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis is a key factor for distribution of invasive species of some Asteraceae tribes, including Astereae, Anthemideae, Senecioneae, Gnaphalieae, Cardueae, and Cichorieae. The formation of invasion-friendly plant communities has occurred through increasing nutrient and water availability, hormonal regulation, production of bioactive compounds, and mycorrhiza-induced resistance of host plants. The soil mycobiota of Senecioneae, Anthemideae, Astereae, Gnaphaliae, Cichorieae, and Cardueae tribes was represented by AMF in more than 50 % of the cases. It was revealed that the mycobiota of monophyletic Senecioneae, Anthemideae, Astereae, and Gnaphalieae tribes contain AMF species belonging to four orders (Paraglomerales, Archaeosporales, Diversisporales, and Glomerales).
