General description
Dhurrin is a cyanogenic glucoside found expressed in the leaves of Sorghum plants. Studies have shown that as the plant ages, dhurrin expression depends are nitrogen availability. Dhurrin production shifts from the leaves to the stems during development.
Packaging
Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Cyanogenic plants have some potential as biocidal green manure crops in limiting several soilborne pests and pathogens. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and Sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor subsp. sudanense (P.) Stapf), in fact, contain the cyanogenic glucoside p-hydroxy-(S)-mandelonitrile-β-D-glucoside (dhurrin) as a

Metabolic engineering holds great promise as a technique for improving crop plants. However, introducing new metabolic steps can disturb normal metabolism and gene expression, affecting phenotype and quality in undesired ways. Recently, Charlotte Kristensen et al. reported that introducing the

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.)) Moench is an important food for humans and feed for livestock. Sorghum contains dhurrin which can be degraded into toxic hydrogen cyanide. Here, we report the expression patterns of 14 candidate genes related to dhurrin ((S)-4-Hydroxymandelnitrile-β-D-glucopyranoside)

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) produces a leucine-derived cyanogenic beta-D-glucoside, epiheterodendrin that accumulates specifically in leaf epidermis. Barley leaves are not cyanogenic, i.e. they do not possess the ability to release hydrogen cyanide, because they lack a cyanide releasing beta-D-glucosidase. Cyanogenesis
