Article Synopsis
- Manihot esculenta (cassava) contains cyanogenic glucosides, linamarin and lotaustralin, synthesized by specific enzymes encoded by newly identified cDNAs UGT85K4 and UGT85K5.
- These enzymes, produced in E. coli, can modify various substrates, indicating broad functionality in the plant's metabolic processes.
- Localization studies suggest that UGT85K4 and UGT85K5 work alongside other enzymes in cassava, which may have roles in both plant defense and nitrogen management.
