A chemical compound having the formula CHN or HCN or HNC which appears under the form of a flammable, toxic water-white liquid at temperatures below 26.5°C, with a faint odour of bitter almonds, which occurs naturally in some plants (almond, oleander), usually combined as glycosides (as amygdalin) and also in coke-oven gas, which can be synthesized from ammonia and carbon monoxide, and which is used in the manufacture of acrylonitrile, acrylates, adiponitrile, cyanide salts, dyes, chelates, rodenticides and pesticides.  7, record 1, English, - hydrocyanic%20acid

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

Cyanogenic glycosides are present in a number of food plants and seeds. Hydrogen cyanide is released from the cyanogenic glycosides when fresh plant material is macerated as in chewing, which allows enzymes and cyanogenic glycosides to come together, releasing hydrogen cyanide.  6, record 2, English, - cyanogenetic%20glycoside
