  abstract = {{T}he purpose of this study was to test the capacity of the ectomycorrhizal ({ECM}) fungus, {S}cleroderma bermudense, to alleviate saline stress in seagrape ({C}occoloba uvifera {L}.) seedlings. {P}lants were grown over a range (0, 200, 350 and 500 m{M}) of {N}a{C}l levels for 12 weeks, after 4 weeks of non-saline pre-treatment under greenhouse conditions. {G}rowth and mineral nutrition of the seagrape seedlings were stimulated by {S}. bermudense regardless of salt stress. {A}lthough {ECM} colonization was reduced with increasing {N}a{C}l levels, {ECM} dependency of seagrape seedlings increased. {T}issues of {ECM} plants had significantly increased concentrations of {P} and {K} but lower {N}a and {C}l concentrations than those of non-{ECM} plants. {H}igher {K} concentrations in the leaves of {ECM} plants suggested a higher osmoregulating capacity of these plants. {M}oreover, the water status of {ECM} plants was improved despite their higher evaporative leaf surface. {T}he results suggest that the reduction in {N}a and {C}l uptake together with a concomitant increase in {P} and {K} absorption and a higher water status in {ECM} plants may be important salt-alleviating mechanisms for seagrape seedlings growing in saline soils.},
