Ectomycorrhizas (EMs) are mutualistic associations between soil fungi and plant roots. Although the physical interaction occurs only in roots, mycorrhizas may alter the physiology of the whole plant, resulting in changes in host responses to abiotic stress. To elucidate the influence of an ectomycorrhizal fungus on leaf physiology and performance under salt stress, we analysed the levels of nutrient elements, phytohormones, carbohydrates, amino compounds and fatty acids in leaves ofPopulus×canescens.The poplars were cultivated either in the presence or absence ofPaxillus involutusand either with or without salt stress imposed by 150 mM NaCl. Leaves of ectomycorrhizal plants displayed higher quantum yield of photochemistry (ΦPSII), increased concentrations of phosphorus and potassium, decreased concentrations of galactose, increased concentrations of the stress metabolite γ-amino butyric acid and a lower unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratios than those of non-ectomycorrhizal plants. Salt exposure ofP.×canescensled to leaf chlorosis and shedding, decreases inΦPSII, K+-to-Na+ratio, 9Z-hexadecenoic acid, 9Z-octadecenoic acid and unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratio, and increases in ABA, glucose, fructose and some amino compounds. Under salinity leaves of ectomycorrhizal plants showed an alleviation of leaf chlorosis, improved water status, higher ΦPSIIand K+-to-Na+ratio, less accumulation of major amino compounds and lower unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratios than those of non-mycorrhizal plants. These results indicate that ectomycorrhizas attenuate salinity induced injury in leaves ofP.×canescens, which may be ascribed to the improved nutrient status, osmo-regulation and changes in fatty acid composition in leaves of ectomycorrhizal plants.
