Abstract:

The SWEET gene family of plant sugar transporters is a class of important sugar transporters discovered in recent years, which plays an important role in plant growth and development, physiological metabolism, and resistance to stress by regulating the transport and distribution of sugar in plants. SWEET gene has different biological functions in different species and plays an important role in plant life activities. In this study, we reported the research status of the protein structure, transport mechanism and biological function of the SWEET gene family in plants, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for further study on other structures and functions of SWEET gene family.

Key words: sugar transporters, SWEET gene, structure, transport mechanism, biological function
