Phylogenetic representation of five selected plant genomes viz., Solanum lycopercicum (72.45 %), Vitis vinifera (77.84 %), Medicago trucatula (63.47 %), and Arabidopsis thaliana (56.28 %). The numbers indicate percentage of association of these genomes with the metabolite genes of Ocimum genome. These percentages agree with the taxonomic phylogeny and hierarchy, suggesting that the evolution of genes involved in metabolic pathways is not a cause of recent expansions or sudden genome drifts. The inner circle represents chromosomes from respective homolog genome. Each scaffold is organized in the middle circle and is represented in chronological order as per position on chromosomes. The line represents location of each scaffold on the respective chromosome. Colors indicate  = < 2 genes, =2 genes, = > 2 genes, = Metabolite related genes. Height of orange columns in outermost circle represents amount of repeats in corresponding scaffolds
