Abstract

Roots and shoots excised from sorghum seedlings incorporated the label of p-hydroxymandelonitrile-1-14C but not the label of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde-7-14C into the cyanogenic glucoside, dhurrin. Tyrosine-U-14C significantly labelled the glucoside only in shoots. Both tissues glucosylated p-hydroxybenzaldehyde-7-14C to form p-glucosyloxybenzaldehyde.
