Cloning of β-Primeverosidase from Tea Leaves, a Key Enzyme in Tea Aroma Formation1 (2002, background): “Most plant -glucosidases in this family are involved in defense mechanisms, in which various toxic aglycons are released by the action of the specific -glucosidases such as cyanogenic glucosidases (Poulton, 1990; Vetter, 2000) and glucosinolate myrosinases (Rask et al., 2000).”
Plant Defense against Insect Herbivores (2013, background): “The second step can also be catalyzed by α-hydroxynitrile lyase [206].”
Exploring the Temperature-Stress Metabolome of Arabidopsis1[w] (2004, background): “For example, branched-chain amino acids (Ile, Leu, and Val) serve as precursors for cyanogenic glycosides (Vetter, 2000).”
Nutritional ecology of elephants in Kibale National Park, Uganda, and its relationship with crop-raiding behaviour (2006, background): “Alhough cassava has been reported to contain cyanogenic glycosides (Vetter 2000), no crops analysed in this study contained cyanogenic glycosides or alkaloids.”
Plant defense against herbivores: chemical aspects. (2012, background): “Subsequently, acetone cyanohydrin is released, which can be converted into HCN and acetone either spontaneously or by a hydroxynitrile lyase (122).”
