Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is coproduced with ethylene in plant cells and primarily enzymatically detoxified by the mitochondrial ß-cyanoalanine synthase (CAS-C1). Permanent or transient depletion of CAS-C1 activity in Arabidopsis results in physiological alterations in the plant that suggest that the f...
