... are cyanogenic (Olafsdottir et al. 1989; Spencer 1988), that is they liberate hydrogen cyanide (HCN) when damaged...Most plants that are cyanogenic contain both a cyanogenic glycoside and the necessary enzyme (a b-glycosidase) that when combined during structural damage to the leaf, as they would be during herbivory, liberate HCN. In most cyanogenic plants, the cyanogenic ...
