Based on the delta threshold cycle (Ct) values (i.e., the difference in Ct values between PMA-treated and nontreated samples), the long-amplicon PMA-qPCR was able to suppress the detection of dead X. fragariae cells 1.9- to 3.1-fold across all petiole samples tested. The quantification results from PMA-qPCR for mixtures of viable and dead cells were highly correlated with the predicted bacterial concentrations in a linear relationship (R2 = 0.981). This assay can be useful for identifying inoculum sources in the straw
