Regulation of genes encoding proteins of the salicylic acid synthesis and signalling and lignin synthesis pathways in cassava after virus infection. Significantly regulated genes are depicted together with their mRNA fold change based on RNA‐sequencing (RNA‐seq) analysis in susceptible (60444) and resistant (KBH 2006/18) cassava varieties after infection.
