Abstract: Cyanogenic glucosides are widespread defence compounds in plants, and they are also found in some arthropods, especially within Lepidoptera. The aliphatic linamarin and lotaustralin are the most common cyanogenic glucosides in Lepidoptera, and they are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-20928-7
Abstract: Localisation of metabolites in sorghum coleoptiles using Raman hyperspectral imaging analysis was compared in wild type plants and mutants that lack cyanogenic glucosides. This novel method allows high spatial resolution in situ localization by detecting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/brv.12357
Abstract: Heliconiines are called passion vine butterflies because they feed exclusively on Passiflora plants during the larval stage. Many features of Passiflora and heliconiines indicate that they have radiated and speciated in association with each other,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/metabo10070288
Abstract: Cyanogenic glucosides (CG), the monoglycosides linamarin and lotaustralin, as well as the diglucosides linustatin and neolinustatin, have been identified in flax. The roles of CG and hydrogen cyanide (HCN), specifically the product of their breakdown,… read more here.
