This article describes the identification of a new class of sugar transporters called SWEETs, which are essential for the transport of sugars in both plants and animals. The study reveals that SWEETs are involved in the maintenance of blood glucose levels in animals, the production of nectar in plants, and the development of plant seeds and pollen. The research team identified SWEETs in Arabidopsis, rice, and human cells, and demonstrated that they mediate glucose transport. The SWEET proteins are also involved in the nutrition of pathogens, as they are exploited by bacterial pathogens for virulence by binding to a bacterial effector. The study also shows that SWEETs are involved in the transport of sugars in animals, and that their function is important for the maintenance of blood glucose levels. The research team also identified that SWEETs are involved in the transport of sugars in the human body, and that they may be involved in the exocytosis of cells. The study highlights the importance of SWEETs in both plant and animal biology, and their potential role in the interaction between plants and pathogens. The findings suggest that SWEETs are a key component in the transport of sugars in both plants and animals, and that they may be important in the development of new strategies for combating pathogen infections.This article describes the identification of a new class of sugar transporters called SWEETs, which are essential for the transport of sugars in both plants and animals.
