Abstract

Blood disease of Banana (BDB) is one of the prevalent disease caused by Ralstonia syzygii subsp. celebesensis (Rsc) which cause substantial loss on banana production in Indonesia. To date, the genetic basis of plant defense mechanism caused by blood disease in banana is not available. As a matter of fact, the knowledge of global gene expression will provide important information on plant response to the pathogen infection. Data from transcriptomic analysis in response to blood disease infection from Musa acuminata cv. Mas Kirana (AA group), representing the A genome, and Musa balbisiana cv. Klutuk (BB group), representing the B genome, were firstly reported. The transcriptome data discussed in this publication are accessible through NCBI's Gene Expression Omnibus with GEO Series accession number GSE138749. These data provide the basis for further investigation on the global gene expression which is pivotal to understand the mechanism of disease resistance from two banana genomes in response to blood disease infection.
