Metabolism of Hydrogen Cyanide by Higher Plants 1
AUTOR(ES)
Miller, Jacqueline M.
RESUMO
A survey has been made of the occurrence and distribution of three enzymes which metabolize cyanide in a variety of higher plants including both cyanogenic and non-cyanogenic species. The enzymes investigated were β-cyanoalanine synthase, rhodanese and formamide hydrolyase. β-Cyanoalanine synthase was found to be present in every higher plant tested whereas rhodanese was found to occur far less commonly in plants. Formamide hydrolyase activity was not detected in any of the higher plants tested.
