The Interplay Between Water Limitation, Dhurrin, and Nitrate in the Low-Cyanogenic Sorghum Mutant adult cyanide deficient class 1

The Interplay Between Water Limitation, Dhurrin, and Nitrate in the Low-Cyanogenic Sorghum Mutant adult cyanide deficient class 1

Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench produces the nitrogen-containing natural product dhurrin that provides chemical defense against herbivores and pathogens via the release of toxic hydrogen cyanide gas. Drought can increase dhurrin in shoot tissues to concentrations toxic to livestock. As dhurrin is also a...
