Hexoses and disaccharides are the key carbon sources for essentially all physiological processes across kingdoms. In plants, sucrose, and in some cases raffinose and stachyose, are transported from the site of synthesis in leaves, the sources, to all other organs that depend on import, the sinks. Sugars also play key roles in interactions with beneficial and pathogenic microbes. Sugar transport is mediated by transport proteins that fall into super-families. Sugar transporter (ST) activity is tuned at different levels, including transcriptional and posttranslational levels. Understanding the ST interactome has a great potential to uncover important players in biologically and physiologically relevant processes, including, but not limited to Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we combined ST interactions and coexpression studies to identify potentially relevant interaction networks. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
