Abstract: Apot experiment with two maize varieties DH662 and XD20 was conducted to studythe regulatory effects of exogenous spermidine on photosynthesis and physiological characteristics and yield of maize after waterlogging stress. The results showed that the average yield of DH662 and XD20 was increased by 12.9% and 10.8% after topdressing exogenous spermidine. The effect of waterlogging in different growth stages on maize was different. The treatment at seedling to jointing stage showed more influence on the two varieties. And the effects of exogenous spermidine was best at seedling to jointing stage. The topdressing of exogenous spermidinecould improve the utilization efficiency of light energy in different growth stages, and Pn, Gs, Ls, Fv/Fm, ΦPSII, qP of leaves, but reduce Ci and qN. The activities of SOD and CAT in DH662 were increased significantly by 14.5% and 19.9%, while those in XD20 were increased significantly by 4.6% and 18.2% as compared with the waterlogging treatment. And the average activity of IDH and SDH in both the two cultivars was increased by 26.1% and 19.6%, while the activity of APX was not increased significantly. The exogenous spermidine could repress the cell membrane oxidation. The average root activity in DH662 and XD20 was increased by 12.9% and MDA content was decreased by 23.9%. Therefore, the topdressing of exogenous spermidine improves the physiological functions of leaves and roots, resulting in lower yield losses caused by waterlogging, but the sensitivity of different varities and different growth stages to Spd was different.
