larva | association of Pierid butterflies and plants of the Brassicales, Pierid rapae larvae develop on transgenic Arabidopsis plants with ectopic production of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin without ill effects. Larvae are fed on Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 leaves to which either benzylglucosinolate or 2-phenylethylglucosinolate as exogenous glucosinolates are applied | Pieris rapae | - |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | the ability of Pierid species to safely handle cyanide contributed to the primary host shift from Fabales to Brassicales that occured about 75 million years ago and was followed by Pierid species diversification | Pieris rapae |
physiological function | the enzyme detoxifies cyanide, larvae incorporate cyanide into beta-cyanoalanine and thiocyanide | Pieris rapae |
