The reconstructed pathway of the carbon dioxide fixation process in cassava presented on the SmartDraw platform. The number in the orange boxes denotes the EC number of the enzymes which is possibly a product of the genes below, denoted as the 12-digit ID. The colored dots beside each gene ID indicate the plant templates from which the genes were annotated: green – Arabidopsis, red – maize, pink – rice, violet – castor bean, and orange – potato. The background colors of the dots represent the matching quality of the sequence alignment: highest in yellow to lower in blue and the lowest in white. The following two columns describe the match (MS) and conservation (CS) scores, respectively. The box marks the reactions that are relevant to the C4-photosynthesis pathway found in a typical C4-plant.
