Abstract
Several reviews of the cyanogenic compounds have been presented during the past years, particularly of the cyanogenic glycosides. Among them are reviews on their occurrence (Hegnauer 1986; Nahrstedt 1987), their function (Nahrstedt 1985; Hegnauer 1986), toxicity (Poulton 1983), biosynthesis (Conn 1988), and their occurrence and physiology in insects (Nahrstedt 1988). A comprehensive volume, Cyanide compounds in biology, was published in 1988 by the Ciba Foundation. All these activities indicate that the cyanogenic compounds are an important subject for biological research. This chapter aims to summarize recent progress in this area.
