Genetic Screening Identifies Cyanogenesis-Deficient Mutants of Lotus japonicus and Reveals Enzymatic Specificity in Hydroxynitrile Glucoside Metabolism[W][OA]
No full textThis work describes a high-throughput screen for mutants affected in their ability to release hydrogen cyanide using the model legume Lotus japonicus. Mutants revealed unexpected specificity in the enzymes of both synthesis and degradation of cyanogenic glucosides and closely related compounds. This may offer flexibility in the production of deterrents to herbivores by this species
