Significance Statement The high cyanogenic glucoside content in some cassava varieties prevents herbivory but can be toxic for human consumption. The identification of an intracellular transporter gene and its allelic variation allow us to identify cultivars with up to 30% reduced cyanogenic glucoside content in cassava root.
