Over 2,650 plant species can produce hydrogen cyanide (Seigler 1991 Swain et al. 1992). These include edible plants such as almonds, pits from stone fruits (e.g., apricots, peaches, plums, cherries), sorghum, cassava, soybeans, spinach, lima beans, sweet potatoes, maize, millet, sugarcane, and bamboo shoots (Fiksel et al. 1981). The cyanogenic glycoside content of a foodstuff is usually expressed as the amount of cyanide released by acid hydrolysis glycoside concentrations are rarely reported (WHO 1992). 

E. 5-cm. shoot collected and 1000 micron wide column of pith tissue examined. Since pith tissue was frequently ruptured, mitotic figures recorded represent only a fraction of those present. Moreover pith tissue is considerably less active than the more peripheral tissues, indicating that total subapical mitotic activity in growing bamboo shoots may attain extraordinar) proportions.

Many aspects of the panda s skeletal structure and behavior support the idea that it is not a bear. An especially important piece of evidence is the presence of a special sixth digit, which acts in the manner of an opposable thumb. This digit is actually an extension of a bone in the wrist, and it allows giant pandas to grasp bamboo shoots and efficiently strip off their leaves. The red panda also has such a thumb, although it is less well-developed. Other aspects of panda biology which bears do not possess include well-developed molar teeth and non-hibernation in winter. 

With the help of some friends, Ts ai Lun feigned death and had himself buried alive in a coffin. Unknown to most of those who witnessed the internment, the coffin contained a small hole through it, a hollow bamboo shoot had been inserted, to provide the trickster an air supply. 

Although Africa has the largest registered area of around 27 million hectares, its total harvested quantity is relatively low compared to the registered extent (Table V). Bamboo shoots (36%), fruits and berries (21%), nuts (19%) and medicinal and aromatic plants (9%) are the most widely collected natural products from the wild. In terms of Africa, only a small range of prodncts are collected of which more coimnonest prodncts are sheabutter, rosehip, gnm arabic, argan oil and honeybnsh.

DHS applications have been developed, for example, for the determination of aroma-active compounds in bamboo shoots (83), styrene in yoghurt (8- ) and volatile acids in tobacco, tea, and coffee (88), volatile compounds of strawberries (89) and odor-active compounds of hams (90). The applications of DTD-GC include, for example, in the determination of volatile components of Lavandula luisieri (85), in the analysis of volatile components of oak wood (87) and volatiles in various solid-food products such as spices and herbs (black pepper, oregano, basil, garlic), coffee, roasted peanuts, candy and mushrooms (82).
