Abstract: The paper aims to clarify the hazards and types of Alternaria from Compositae plants. The authors collected, classified and analyzed the related literatures at home and abroad in recent 10 years. The results indicated that: Alternaria could infect the leaves, stems and flowers of a number of genera in Compositae and cause black spot, brown spot and zonate spot disease, it was becoming more and more serious. There were 54 Alternaria species with Compositae as host reported around the world, including 46 species abroad, and 20 species at home. Alternaria species from Compositae worldwide were summarized in this study which laid a foundation for controlling the disease. Less Alternaria species related to Compositae were reported in China, mostly distributed in northern China, the taxonomy mainly depended on morphology and should be combined with molecular methods for the systematic analysis.
