Pathway-centric comparison of P. kurroa developmental stages. Early and late stages protein groups with assigned functions (Enzyme EC number) were mapped to KEGG pathways using iPath v. 3.0. A Vegetative/early stage and B Reproductive/late stage. Highlighted pathways (dashed boxes) include photosynthesis (PS), tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), fatty acid degradation (FA), inositol phosphate metabolism (IPM), cysteine and methionine metabolism (CMM), nicotinamide metabolism (NM), starch and sucrose metabolism (SM), carbon fixation (CF), pyruvate metabolism (PM), photorespiration (PR), glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism (GM), zeatin biosynthesis (ZB), biotin metabolism (BM), β-alanine metabolism (AM), taurine, and hypotaurine metabolism (TM). (C) KEGG-pathway enrichment of protein groups (Fisher’s exact test; p < 0.05) in vegetative and reproductive stages as compared to a customized reference of green plant species viz. Z. mays, G. max, A. thaliana, S. tuberosum, T. aestivum, N. tabacum, P. sativum, O. sativa, and H. vulgare
