It's pretty much the same,

The sequencing is just different, chemically it's all the same "material" it's just arranged differently so different proteins are made.

a person with blue eyes has a different arrangement of nucleotides on the specific gene as a person with green eyes, of course plants don't have eyes but this is just showing the effect of differing arrangements of the nucleotides. A plant has completely different arrangments which "code" for different proteins to be made causing the formation of green instead of green eyes (over simplification)

Remeber the 4 nucleotides of DNA are Adenine, thymine, guanine and cytocine.

How similar is human and cabbage DNA?

While plants and humans are very different, they do have quite a bit of DNA similarities. Humans share approximately 40-50% of DNA with cabbage. Humans share over 60% of DNA with insects, and 98% with chimps.


How does DNA fingerprinting of plants work?

DNA fingerprinting is used in analysis of crop plants using techniques similar to read the DNA of humans. Luckily, the DNA sequence of plants is usually much shorter, and in plants this reading of DNA is often used to attempt to breed more perfect crops, both in taste and survivability.
