1 Has Arabidopsis SWEETIE protein a role in sugar flux and utilization? Sugars HEAT repeat-containing protein Arabidopsis thaliana
2 We recently characterized an Arabidopsis mutant: sweetie, which is defective in the control of growth and development, sterile, shows premature senescence and affects sugar metabolism. Sugars HEAT repeat-containing protein Arabidopsis thaliana
3 Moreover, as computer analyses predicted that SWEETIE might be a membrane protein and might have a function of glycosyl transferase, our data suggest that SWEETIE could be involved in the general control of sugar flux and modulates many important processes such as morphogenesis, flowering, stress responses and senescence. Sugars HEAT repeat-containing protein Arabidopsis thaliana
