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.
植物利用称为 SWEET 的糖转运蛋白来执行各种功能。入侵病原体利用它们来提供营养，从而使宿主易受感染，这在几种植物中都有体现。因此，人们正在利用天然存在的和经过基因改造的 SWEET 基因变体来开发抗病虫害的作物品种。
