Abstract: In order to study the mechanism of synthesis and degradation about Rubisco, (NH4)2SO4 which was marked by 15N was applied during earing period to delay the falg leaf ageing process, meanwhile the content and 15N abundance of Rubisco, LSU, SSU, etc. were determined. The result showed that the content and the 15N abundance of Rubisco, LSU, SSU were at high level during the RAPD (Relative active photosynthetic duration) of wheat flag leaf, which indicated that Rubisco was at a continuous process of turnover about synthesis and degredation. Rubisco was resynthetized still, while Rubisco was hydrolyzed. During the RPD (rapid photosynthetic duration) of wheat flag leaf, 15N abundance of Rubisco, LSU and SSU were at a lower level, and had little changes. All these indicated that there was little Rubisco resynthesized during RPD. The 15N abundance of soil was declined, and this indicated that plant possessed a powerful ability in absorbing nitrogen from soil during the later upgrowth period. So it was very important for a higher wheat yield to apply nitrogen fertilizer in earing period.
