2006.10.1 Most cyanide produced in plants is detoxified primarily by the key enzyme β-cyanoalanine synthase. The remaining HCN at non-toxic concentration may play a role of signaling molecule involved in the control of some metabolic processes in plants. So, HCN may play a dual role in plants, depending on its concentration.

Abstract. In non-cyanogenic plants, cyanide is a co-product of ethylene and camalexin biosynthesis. To maintain cyanide at non-toxic levels, Arabidopsis plants express the mitochondrial β-cyanoalanine synthase CYS-C1.CYS-C1 knockout leads to an increased level of cyanide in the roots and leaves and a severe defect in root hair morphogenesis,

In some plant organs, cyanide-resistant respiration is enhanced by elevated O 2 atmospheres. Ripening of mature-green, climacteric fruits was slightly enhanced by exposure to 30–80 kPa O 2 , but levels above 80 kPa retarded their ripening and caused O 2 toxicity disorders on some fruits.

Plants Causing Cyanide Poisoning in Pastures. Cyanogenic glycosides are present in many plants and are converted to hydrogen cyanide or prussic acid when plant cells are damaged. The concentration of cyanogenic glycosides within a plant is variable: growth stage, moisture and time of day can all influence plant cyanogenic glycosides levels.

Cyanide analysis estimates the “potential” of the plant to cause poisoning. During the forage analysis, the plant cells are broken, allowing the cyanogenic compound to mix with the plant enzymes that release the cyanide. The toxin then is measured. Table 2 provides some guidelines for evaluating forages for cyanide toxicity.

Production of cyanide through biological and environmental processes requires the detoxification of this metabolic poison.
