Figure 6.

Variation in cyanide potential among individual plants belonging to the same cassava clone. A, Variation in cyanide potential (μmol HCN per g fresh weight) in apex, first unfolded leaf, and its corresponding petiole as monitored in 9-week-old plants grown in vitro and in vivo. sd is shown by error bars. B, Cyanide potential of the first unfolded leaf of nine randomly selected individual in vivo-grown cassava plants all belonging to the same clone. C, Plant height and total leaf number of the same in vivo-grown cassava plants. An apparent correlation between plant height and cyanide potential is observed.
