Abstract: β‐Cyanoalanine synthase (β‐CAS) is an enzyme involved in cyanide detoxification. However, little information is available regarding the effects of β‐CAS activity changes on plant resistance to environmental stress. Here, we found that β‐CAS overexpression (CAS‐OE)… read more here.

Abstract: In spite of available information demonstrating the assimilation of cyanide (CN-) by β-cyanoalanine synthase (β-CAS) in plants, involvement of sulfurtransferase (ST) in CN- assimilation in rice plants is still undefined. In this study, a microcosmic… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Glucosinolates are antiherbivory chemical defense compounds in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Specialist herbivores that feed on brassicaceous plants have evolved various mechanisms aimed at preventing the formation of toxic isothiocyanates. In contrast, generalist herbivores typically… read more here.
