SWEET proteins found;http://www.f1000biology.com/article/w7k0gdj9cm62gtt/id/6785956A new class of proteins, dubbed SWEETs, function as glucose transporters, shuttling sugar molecules out of plant, worm and human cells. In some plants, SWEET proteins are co-opted by bacterial pathogens to deliver nutrition to the invaders. L.Q.
