Abstract: In order to develop an efficient protein extraction method suitable for two-dimensional electrophoresis from tea plant, three methods (TCA/acetone precipitation, improved Tris-HCl extraction and phenol-methanol/ammonium acetate precipitation) for total protein extraction in plant were compared. The result showed that the improved Tris-HCl extraction was the best method suitable for tea leaf protein sample preparation in these three techniques and the extracts were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Consequently, 1117±9.89 protein spots were found and their isoelectric points were found to lie between pI5~7. The relative molecular weight of proteins was between 15.00~95.00kD. The improved Tris-HCl extraction could get the highest resolution of two dimensional electrophoresis and high yield of protein, and it could meet the requirement for the research on tea proteomecis.
