DNA, men and plants

Google has failed me. I know men and chimpanzees share over 98% of their DNA, but what's the % overlap for men and plants? I must have read it somewhere, becacuse I have a lingering memory that the overlap is a lot higher than you might guess owing to the sequences for basic metabolic processes.

Can anyone help?

Ooops ... apologies. I started working on a second computer, when the first hit a very slooooow page, and neglected to log back in!

Apologies also for the bad links here and there, where I've put parentheses rather than angle brackets. Perhaps I should have taken the shutting off of the overhead lights as a hint that it was time to go home!
