Why are so many food plants cyanogenic?

abstract：:Plant growth and developmental processes as well as environmental responses require the action and cross talk of phytohormones including auxins and cytokinins. Active phytohormones are changed into multiple forms by acylation, esterification or glycosylation, for example. It seems that conjugated compounds could serve...
