Plantain virus X is a species of virus, part of the Potexvirus viral family. It infects the weed plaintain ( Plantago lanceolata). [1] DNA sequencing has shown it to be synonymous with Actinidia virus X, infecting kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) and blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum). [1] The same research also found Plantain virus X infecting Capsicum annuum (sweet pepper) and the ornamental flower Browallia americana. [1]
