1. Exposure of rats to environmental-stress conditions of hypobaria, hypoxia and cold did not alter the activity of hepatic δ-aminolaevulinate synthetase. 2. Induction of the enzyme by diethoxycarbonyldihydrocollidine was inhibited when the rats were exposed to hypobaria before or during the treatment with the drug but not after the initial phase when the process of induction was initiated. Neither increased concentration of the drug nor the time of induction had any effect on the inhibition under hypobaria. 3. A period of 12–24h of pre-exposure to hypobaria gave the maximum inhibition, and on longer exposure the inhibitory effect was decreased. 4. The inhibition was not a permanent effect and could be substantially reversed in 12h of withdrawal to ambient pressure. 5. Inhibition of induction was found under hypobaria and hypoxia, but not on exposure to cold. This suggests a specific effect of lack of O2 rather than a general effect of stress. 6. It appears possible that alteration of concentration of endogenous adenine nucleotides may control the process of diethoxycarbonyldihydrocollidine-mediated induction of δ-aminolaevulinate synthetase, since treatment with ATP, cyclic AMP or theophylline produced inhibition similar to that under hypobaria and hypoxia.

Cytospora eucalypticola has been frequently associated with twig and stem cankers and as endophyte of Eucalyptus globulus and E. grandis in Uruguay. Mycelium discs of two C. eucalypticola isolates obtained from actively growing colonies were inoculated, both superficially and on experimentally wounded stems of E. globulus and E. grandis. No inoculated and control plants have shown any discoloration, gumosis or necrosis nor did they display lesions ten months after inoculation. Callus tissue was formed, partially or wholly occluding the wounds. The ability to penetrate healthy tissues and the inability to produce lesions evidenced that the presence of C. eucalypticola in twig and stem cankers could result from saprotrophic expansion of the endophytic mycelium in dying tissues, cankers probably being produced by different environmental stress conditions.
