Molecular tools have allowed us to gain deep insights into disease responses, allowing for more efficient, rational engineering of crops that are more robust or resistant to a greater number of pathogen variants. Here we describe the roles of SWEET and STP transporters, membrane proteins that mediate transport of sugars across the plasma membrane. We discuss how these transporters may enhance or restrict disease through controlling the level of nutrients provided to pathogens and whether the transporters play a role in sugar signaling for disease resistance. This review indicates open questions that require further research and proposes the use of genome editing technologies for engineering disease resistance. specialized pathogen symbiosis sucrose transport nutrition signaling Arabidopsis thaliana Oryza sativa Triticum sp. 076 93 4 675-685 2018 0960-7412 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010072071 10.1111/tpj.13775 0960-7412 [F B010072071] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010072071 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2018/02/010072071.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2018-03-05 2018-03-05 fdi:010072071 fre
