Analysis of differential gene expression in sugarcane varieties SES208 and LA Purple after inoculation with Xanthomonas albilineans. a Venn diagrams of DEGs between SES208 with LA Purple. b Heat map of conserved core DEGs expressed in common between SES208 with LA Purple after inoculation with Xanthomonas albilineans. c-e Numbers of DEGs in major KEGG pathways after inoculation with Xanthomonas albilineans. c Specific DEGs in SES208. The red font represents the pathway specifically enriched in SES208; The blue font indicates that the number of DEGs in the enriched pathway in SES208 is greater than that in LA Purple. d Specific DEGs in LA Purple. e DEGs expressed in common between SES208 and LA Purple. Expression values were calculated as relative expression of genes (log2 Fold Change from − 2 to + 2). SES: SES208; LA: LA Purple. 0 h: uninfected plants; 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h represent 24, 48, and 72 hours post inoculation of sugarcane with X. albilineans, respectively
