Gene expression analysis of cacao pathogenesis‐related protein 1 receptor‐like kinase gene (PR‐1RK) during the biotrophic stage of witches' broom disease. The Theobroma cacao TcPR‐1g gene is up‐regulated in infected plants, whereas no significant expression was detected for TcPR‐1f. Data were obtained by RNA‐seq sequencing of five replicates for each condition (healthy control and infected plants). Gene expression values are given in reads per kilobase of exon model per million mapped reads (RPKM).
