Les rôles physiologiques des ß-glucosidases sont nombreux et sont liés à la nature et à la fonction des aglycones qu'elles libèrent. En effet, certains aglycones devenus actifs après hydrolyse de leurs glucosides conjugués jouent un rôle important dans divers mécanismes métaboliques : [...] (4) dans le métabolisme de défense contre les pathogènes et herbivores, via la libération d'un poison respiratoire à partir de l'hydrolyse des ß-glucosides des acides cyanogéniques, des acides hydroxamiques, stéroïdiens, d'isoflavonoïdes, de saponines, d'homoterpènes et d'indo-alcaloïdes. 7, record 1, French, - acide%20cyanhydrique

Il y a six fuseaux horaires au Canada. Le plus à l'est se trouve à Terre-Neuve, où l'heure normale est en retard de trois heures et demie sur le TU. A l'extrême ouest, l'heure normale du Pacifique est en retard de huit heures sur le TU. Entre ces deux fuseaux, on parle, d'est en ouest, d'heure normale de l'Atlantique, de l'Est, du Centre et des Rocheuses. En octobre 1973, le Conseil du Yukon a aboli l'ancien fuseau de l'heure normale du Yukon (Ouest), qui était en retard de neuf heures sur le TU, constituant ainsi pour tout le Yukon un seul fuseau en retard de huit heures sur le TU. 1, record 2, French, - heure%20normale%20du%20Centre

El Vocabulario científico y técnico de la Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales dice que "hora" es sinónimo de "tiempo" cuando significa "Coordenada de referencia en el universo físico que, en un lugar determinado, permite ordenar la secuencia de los sucesos, estableciendo un pasado, un presente y un futuro". Este caso de sinonimia es patente en los términos tiempo/hora civil, tiempo/hora legal, tiempo/hora local, tiempo/hora oficial. En los casos de hora del Este, hora del Atlántico, etc., el uso indica una preferencia por el empleo de "hora" en vez de "tiempo", que es menos frecuente. 3, record 2, Spanish, - hora%20del%20Centro
