Zusammenfassung:Sugar transporters called SWEETs are utilized by plants for a variety of functions. Invading pathogens utilize them for the supply of nutrition, thus rendering the host susceptible, as shown in several plant species. Therefore, naturally occurring and genetically manipulated SWEET gene variants are being deployed for the development of resistant crop cultivars.
