Cyanogenic glycosides in plants
The presence of cyanogenic glycosides was determined in 70 plant species from the campus of the State University of Londrina, PR, Brazil, and a further 45 plant species from the Forestry Reserve on the Doralice Farm in Ibiporã, PR, Brazil. Of the vegetative species from the State University of Londr...

| description | The presence of cyanogenic glycosides was determined in 70 plant species from the campus of the State University of Londrina, PR, Brazil, and a further 45 plant species from the Forestry Reserve on the Doralice Farm in Ibiporã, PR, Brazil. Of the vegetative species from the State University of Londrina, 7.1% showed cyanogenic glycosides: Manihot esculenta (Euphorbiaceae), Passiflora edulis (Passifloraceae), Macadamia ternifolia (Proteaceae), Prunus persica (Rosaceae) and Beloperone sp (Acanthaceae).The first four species were considered to be potentially cyanogenic in the field. From the Forestry Reserve on the Doralice Farm, the plant species with cyanogenic glycosides were: Holocalix balanseae (Caesalpinaceae), Nectranda megapotamica (Lauraceae), Trichilia casareti (Meliaceae), Trichilia elegans (Meliaceae) and Rapanea umbellata (Myrsinaceae), making 11.1% of the total species analyzed. Only Holocalix balanseae was considered to be potentially cyanogenic in the field.<br>A presença de glicosídeos cianogênicos foi testada em 70 espécies de plantas do Campus da Universidade Estadual de Londrina, PR, Brasil e em 45 espécies de plantas do Remanescente Florestal da Fazenda Doralice, Ibiporã, PR, Brasil. Das espécies vegetais da Universidade Estadual de Londrina, 7,1% apresentaram glicosídeos cianogênicos: Manihot esculenta (Euphorbiaceae), Passiflora edulis (Passifloraceae), Macadamia ternifolia (Proteaceae), Prunus persica (Rosaceae) e Beloperone sp (Acanthaceae). As primeiras quatro espécies foram consideradas potencialmente cianogênicas no campo. Do Remanescente Florestal da Fazenda Doralice, as espécies vegetais com glicosídeos cianogênicos foram: Holocalix balanseae (Caesalpinaceae), Nectandra megapotamica (Lauraceae), Trichilia casareti (Meliaceae), Trichilia elegans (Meliaceae) e Rapanea umbellata (Myrsinaceae), perfazendo 11,1% das espécies totais analisadas. Somente Holocalix balanseae foi considerada ser potencialmente cianogênica no campo. |
