Research Abstract	It is suggested that in the Roseceae, which utilizes sorbitol as well as sucrose as translocated sugars, there is a specific regulatory mechanism of gene expression with sugars, differing from common plants. With comprehensive analysis by microarray using leaves of transgenic apple in which sorbitol synthesis was suppressed, genes regulated by sorbitol were identified, which provides new clues to understand roles of sorbitol in the Rosaceae.
