Development and quantitative analysis of a biosensor based on the Arabidopsis SWEET1 sugar transporter Open
Significance Transporters are the gatekeepers of the cell. Transporters facilitate the exchange of ions and metabolites between cellular and subcellular compartments, thus controlling processes from bacterial chemotaxis to the release of n…

When SWEETs Turn Tweens: Updates and Perspectives Open
Sugar translocation between cells and between subcellular compartments in plants requires either plasmodesmata or a diverse array of sugar transporters. Interactions between plants and associated microorganisms also depend on sugar transpo…
