The Medicago truncatula Sugar Transport Protein 13 and Its Lr67res-Like Variant Confer Powdery Mildew Resistance in Legumes via Defense Modulation.

Abstract excerpt

Obligate biotrophic pathogens like the pea powdery mildew© (PM) Erysiphe pisi establish long-term feeding relationships with their host, during which they siphon sugars from host cells through haustoria. Plants in turn deploy sugar transporters to restrict carbon allocation toward pathogens, as a defense mechanism. Studies in Arabidopsis have shown that sugar transport protein 13 (STP13), a proton-hexose...
