Transcript profiling shows Arabidopsis SWEET12 fosters mutualism and defense responses in fungal symbiosis with Serendipita indica.

This research aims to explore the functional role of Arabidopsis SWEET12 in plant-fungal interactions and defense responses.
Used transcript profiling to analyze SWEET gene responses to Serendipita indica and its elicitor cellotriose.
Investigated effects of SWEET12 loss-of-function mutant on growth and sugar allocation.
Examined whole-plant responses via transcriptome profiling.
SWEET12 is crucial for mutualism by balancing fungal colonization with host defense.
SWEET12 absence disrupts growth promotion and alters sugar allocation.
Transcriptome analysis indicates SWEET12 coordinates carbohydrate, nitrogen, and lipid metabolism.
