The increasing production of banana is hampered by the spread of banana plant diseases, one of which is caused by a group of bacteria, including those of causing wilt diseases. In Indonesia, blood disease is one of the important banana wilt diseases since loss due to the infection can reach up to 50%. There are numerous publications on the pathogen identification causing banana blood disease based on the molecular approach, however to date, no detailed molecular data are available for the interaction of banana host plant against the pathogen. Here, we present three raw data sets of the total RNA-seq from the inoculated Musa balbisiana cutivar kepok (ABB genome) inoculated with Ralstonia syzigii subsp. celebesensis, Ralstonia solanacearum and mock. The data provide essential knowledge for differentiating the banana response against pathogen, reveal pathogenesis-related genes and gene functions in the plant system, and research development to design blood disease-resistance of banana as one of the management strategies. Raw reads of RNA-seq data can be found in NCBI's Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database with the accession number of SRR10547839 (RSC), SRR10547840 (RS), and SRR10547841 (Mock).
