Sugar translocation between cells and between subcellular compartments in plants requires
either plasmodesmata or a diverse array of sugar transporters. Interactions between plants …

Sugar will eventually be exported transporters (SWEETs), a novel family of sugar
transporters found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, facilitate sugar flux across the cell …

Highlights•SWEETs are small transporters for sugars undergoing multiple conformational
states during transport cycle.•SWEET9 mediates nectar secretion.•A SWEET–SUT pair …

The SWEET (sugars will eventually be exported transporter) family was identified as a new
class of sugar transporters that function as bidirectional uniporters/facilitators and facilitate …

Key message Present review describes the structure, evolution, transport mechanism and
physiological functions of SWEETs. Their application using TALENs and CRISPR/CAS9 …

The SWEET family belongs to a class of transporters in plants that undergoes large
conformational changes to facilitate transport of sugar molecules across the cell membrane …

Abstract Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters (SWEETs) have important roles in
numerous physiological mechanisms where sugar efflux is critical, including phloem …

Sugar Will Eventually be Exported Transporters (SWEETs) are recently identified sugar
transporters that can discriminate and transport di-or monosaccharides across a membrane …

Photosynthesis leads to the fixation of carbon in leaves and to the accumulation of
carbohydrates (eg, sucrose, starch). This assimilated carbon must be transported from the …

SWEETs and their prokaryotic counterparts SemiSWEETs were recently classified as
transporters that translocate sugar across cellular membranes. SemiSWEETs are commonly …
