The tropical crop, sorghum, produces toxic cyanide to avoid being eaten by herbivores, but this diverts resources away from growth and reproduction. Using non-toxic sorghum mutants, this project seeks to explain how cyanide production is regulated and enhance agricultural efficiency in the face of climate change.

热带作物高粱会产生有毒的氰化物，以避免被食草动物吃掉，但这会转移生长和繁殖的资源。利用无毒高粱突变体，该项目试图解释氰化物生产如何受到监管，并在面对气候变化时提高农业效率。
