(A) Multidimensional scaling plot (MDSPlot) based on logFC (Fold Change) values generated by counting the reads of BRS Kiriris and BGM-1345 genotypes, inoculated with pathogens associated with root rot. (B) Mean-difference plot (MD-Plot) based on differential gene expression tests at each time-period for the contrast between BRS Kiriris × BGM-1345. Up-regulated indicates the genes of increased expression and Down-regulated indicates repressed genes in BRS Kiriris, Non-DE = not differentially expressed. (C) Venn diagram with differentially expressed transcripts (p-value < 0.05) of the interaction between cassava genotypes versus root rot for each of the treatments (Control, Initial time-period and Final time-period). Absolute numbers represent differentially expressed transcripts that are unique or common among pairs or among all treatments.
