Abstract: The effects of polyamines on the contents of DNA, RNA and soluble proteins, the activity of superoxide dismutase, the permeability of plasma membrane of the melon seedlings were studied under the stress of low temperature.The results indicated that after the seedlings were treated with low temperature (2±1℃ ) for JO hours, the contents of RNA and DNA were significantly increased, the protein map was changed, the activity of SOD was strengthened and the percolation rate of plasma membrane was decreased comparing with control.The effect of the treatment with 0.4mmol putrescinc was the best comparing with other treatments used in this experiment.The metabolic process of melon seedlings was regulated through the interaction between polyamines and nucleic acid, and the plant resistance to cold was increased through the interaction between polyamine and plasma membrane.

Key words: Melon, Putrescine, Cold resistance, Metabolic regulation
