Comparison of amino acid polymorphisms in eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) found between susceptible and resistant/tolerant genotypes of Capsicum annuum (pvr1+, AY485127; pvr1, AY485129; pvr1¹, AY485130; pvr1², AY485131), Lactuca sativa (mo1+, AAP86602; mo1¹; mol²) and Pisum sativum (sbm1+, AAR04332; sbm1, AAT44121; sbm1¹, AAT44122) with eIF4E encoded by Phaseolus vulgaris alleles PveIF4E¹ (EF571267) and PveIF4E² (EF571275). PveIF4E² found in the genotypes carrying the bc‐3 gene. The amino acids conserved in susceptible alleles of all four species are shaded in grey. Codons mutated in PveIF4E² are indicated by numbers and similarly located mutations in eIF4E genes linked to potyvirus resistance in the other species are framed by rectangles. The symbol Δ indicates the amino acids deleted.
