My last PhD student where I am the primary supervisor submitted her thesis yesterday …on (no surprises) #cyanogenesis in #sorghum Now for that wait while it’s examined #PlantScience

Woohoo! Another paper accepted on the Australian crop wild relative of sorghum. Stay tuned for details... #plantscience #sorghum #cyanogenesis #GxE

Heteromeles is another monotypic genus of #Rosaceae #Amygdaloideae (but it’s sometimes placed in the larger, Asian genus Photinia). Immature fruits of H. arbutifolia are cyanogenic. As fruits mature, the toxin shifts out of the mesocarp & into the seeds. #cyanogenesis #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪
