Rice plants are benefitted by different metabolic pathways of the seed EB. PAPRICA (pathway prediction by phylogenetic placement) analysis assigned 436 metabolic pathways to 34 EB isolated from seeds of the six rice genotypes. A few potentially beneficial pathways are shown in the figure. Heatmap displays presence of these metabolic pathways in the EB. Euclidean distance was calculated using "dist" function and hierarchical clustering was done using "hclust" method from heatmap.2 function of gplots package in R. A value of two was added to the data for normalization and converted to log scale. The color key shows a gradual increase in confidence score of the metabolic pathways in log scale
