Cassava research and cyanide

This cluster of papers focuses on the presence, synthesis, metabolism, and detoxification of cyanogenic glycosides, particularly in cassava plants. It explores the impact of cyanide in industrial wastewaters, biotreatment methods, plant chemical defense mechanisms, genomic sequencing of cassava, breeding opportunities and challenges, as well as the physiological effects and treatment of cyanide poisoning.
