Potato Virus X (PVX), a plant pathogenic virus belonging to the Alphaflexiviridae family and Tymovirales order, primarily affects potatoes and is mechanically transmitted with no insect or fungal vectors. The virus typically induces mild or no symptoms in most potato varieties; however, when co-infected with Potato Virus Y, severe symptoms manifest. PVX possesses a flexuous rod-like structure composed of 1270 coat protein (CP) subunits. The genome, a single-stranded positive-sense RNA of approximately 6.4 kb, contains five open reading frames (ORFs) encoding essential proteins.
