The natural host range of Potato virus X (PVX) has so far been restricted to the families Amaranthaceae, Cruciferae, and Solanaceae. Here we provide evidence that in Iran PVX also occurs on pea (Pisum sativum), a legume plant. To understand the molecular basis for this expansion of the virus host range, we sequenced a complete RNA genome of the Iranian isolate of PVX (PVX-Iran) and compared it with the genomes of 14 known PVX isolates. The PVX-Iran nucleotide sequence shares 95.4–96.7% identity with the Eurasian isolates and 77.2–78.0% with the South American ones and, like all other isolates, codes for RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (RdRP), triple gene block proteins (TGBp) 1, 2, and 3, and coat protein (CP). At the amino acid level, PVX-Iran is most closely related to the Korean isolate (PVX-KR) sharing 98.1–99.2% identity and 98.6–100% similarity. Further inspection of PVX-Iran revealed several unique amino acid substitutions that do not occur in any other isolate, most notably A542 in RdRP, T10 in TGBp3, and T24 in CP, which individually or in combination could have contributed to breaking pea resistance to PVX.
