Fig. 1. Quantification cycle (Cq) values obtained for Harper-qPCR, Li-qPCR, Ouyang-qPCR, and Francis-qPCR tests using a seven-point 10-fold serial dilution of the Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex strain ESVL DNA standard curve (3 ng/μl) diluted in almond DNA background (15 ng/μl) (DNA Series I-Ab) or ultrapure sterile water (DNA Series I-Wb). Values from the linear regression analysis for each treatment are shown in Table 1.

María Pilar Velasco-Amo et al. compared the global accuracy and performance of six molecular assays using almond samples collected from trees naturally infected with #Xylella fastidiosa in the Alicante Demarcated Area, Spain: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-12-24-2568-RE
