Recent biochemical and genetic studies on hydrogen cyanide (HCN) metabolism and function in plants were reviewed. The potential sources of endogenous cyanide and the pathways of its detoxification are outlined and the possible signaling routes by which cyanide exerts its physiological effects are discussed. Cyanide is produced in plant tissues as the result of hydrolysis of cyanogenic compounds and is also released as a co-product of ethylene biosynthesis. Most cyanide produced in plants is detoxified primarily by the key enzyme P-cyanoalanine synthase. The remaining HCN at non-toxic concentration may play a role of signaling molecule involved in the control of some metabolic processes in plants. So, HCN may play a dual role in plants, depending on its concentration. It may be used in defense against herbivores at high toxic concentration and may have a regulatory function at lower concentration. Special attention is given to the action of HCN during biotic and abiotic stresses, nitrate assimilation and seed germination. Intracellular signaling responses to HCN involve enhancement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and the expression of cyanide-insensitive alternative oxidase (AOX) and ACC synthase (ACS) genes. The biochemical and cellular mechanisms of these responses are, however, not completely understood.
