Abstract: Abstract: Cyanide is widespread in nature and has long been known as a highly toxic compound. However， little is known about the source and function of cyanide in the past. Of particular note is that plants themselves can produce cyanide and use cyanide， which has been shown to play an important role in plant growth and development and stress response. This review highlights the researches on the source of cyanide and its role in seed germination as well as plants against environmental stress. In addition， the future opportunities and challenges of cyanide research are presented and the application prospect of cyanide in agriculture is also discussed.
