Variation of cyanogenesis in some plant species of the midwestern United States
1996
Aikman, K. | Bergman, D. | Ebinger, J. | Seigler, D.
The frequency of cyanogenesis of 48 species of vascular plants was examined by testing 30 individuals from five populations of each species for release of cyanide. The rate at which cyanide was released and the amount of cyanide released varied widely among individuals of a population and among populations of a species. For many taxa, the frequency of cyanogenesis was highly variable among populations. Of the species examined, 20 have not been reported previously as being cyanogenic.
