AbstractThe high content of cyanogenic glycosides (CG) in cassava storage tubers seriously affects human food safety. CG play crucial roles in plant growth and development and can protect cassava leaves from being masticated by herbivorous predators. Nevertheless, the regulatory mechanism of CG biosynthesis, which results in a low CG content in storage tubers and high CG content in leaves, remains poorly understood.
