Abstract: In this study, Hu and APM are utilized to increase the frequency of mitotic synchronism on meristematic tissue in wheat. The frequency of induced synchronous prophase is 20%, metaphase is 79%, anaphasetelophase is 27%. 2D SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the composition of mitotic cyclin in wheat was changed periodically. In comparison with the map of interphase, 5 different protein spots (37 kDa/pI 6.6, 38 kDa/pI 6.8, 34 kDa/pI 7.2, 38 kDa/pI 7.5 and 15 kDa/pI 6.9) appeared in the map of prophase, 1 protein spot (28 kDa/pI 5.2) disappeared. In the map of metaphase, 1 protein spot (21 kDa/pI 6.3) appeared and 2 different protein spots (51 kDa/pI 7.3 and 23 kDa/pI 6.1) disappeared. After meristematic cells turned into anaphase-telophase, 4 different protein spots (37 kDa/pI 6.6, 51 kDa/pI 7.3, 23 kDa/pI 6.1 and 43 kDa/pI 6.6) appeared, and 1 protein spot (21 kDa/ pI6.3) was lost. In the whole cell cycle, 4 protein spots (37 kDa/pI 6.6, 51 kDa/pI 7.3, 23 kDa/pI 6.1 and 21 kDa/ pI 6.3) appeared and disappeared periodically. 2 protein spots were identified by MS/MS. spot 6 was identified as chromosome segregation protein SMC, and spot 9 was identified as helicase protein. These identified protein spots involved in chromosome formation and segregation, DNA duplication and energy metabolism.
