Early embryogenesis is characterized by rapid and synchronous cleavage divisions, which are often controlled by wave-like patterns of Cdk1 activity. Two mechanisms have been proposed for mitotic waves: sweep and trigger waves. The two mechanisms give rise to different wave speeds, dependencies on physical and molecular parameters, and spatial profiles of Cdk1 activity: upward sweeping gradients vs traveling wavefronts. Both mechanisms hinge on the transient bistability governing the cell cycle and are differentiated by the speed of the cell cycle progression: Sweep/trigger waves arise for rapid/slow drives, respectively. Here, using quantitative imaging of Cdk1 activity and theory, we illustrate that sweep waves are the dominant mechanism in Drosophila embryos, and test two fundamental predictions on the transition from sweep to trigger waves. We demonstrate that sweep waves can be turned into trigger waves if the cell cycle is slowed down genetically or if significant delays in the cell cycle progression are introduced across the embryo by altering nuclear density. Our genetic experiments demonstrate that Polo kinase is a major rate-limiting regulator of the blastoderm divisions and genetic perturbations reducing its activity can induce the transition from sweep to trigger waves. Furthermore, we show that changes in temperature cause an essentially uniform slowdown of interphase and mitosis. That results in sweep waves being observed across a wide temperature range despite the cell cycle durations being significantly different. Collectively, our combination of theory and experiments elucidates the nature of mitotic waves in Drosophila embryogenesis, their control mechanisms and their mutual transitions. Hayden et al. show that mitotic waves in Drosophila embryos are controlled by sweep waves of Cdk1 activity. These waves require fast and synchronous progression through the cell cycle and altering either of these features results in trigger rather than sweep waves. Temperature does not affect the properties of Cdk1 waves.
