We considered the following parabolic system:

{ u t = d 1 Δ u a ( x ) u + f ( u , v ) , x Ω , t > 0 , v t = d 2 Δ v b ( x ) v + g ( u , v ) , x Ω , t > 0 , u ( x , 0 ) = u 0 ( x ) , v ( x , 0 ) = v 0 ( x ) , x Ω ,

subject to Dirichlet (or Neumann) boundary conditions. Here Ω R N ( N 1 ) is a bounded smooth domain. In addition to some results on blowup and global existence of the solution, we found some more interesting results as follows: (1) There exists double thresholds for blowup and global existence of the solution. Under certain conditions, if f ( u , v ) = f 1 ( v ) g 1 ( u ) and g ( u , v ) = f 2 ( v ) g 2 ( u ), then the first watershed is

c 1 + d u g 1 ( u ) = + a n d c 2 + d v f 2 ( v ) = + ,

and the second watershed is

c ~ 1 + d U f ~ ( F ~ 1 ( K G ~ ( U ) ) ) = + a n d c ~ 2 + d V g ~ ( G ~ 1 ( 1 ϵ F ~ ( V ) ) ) = + .

Here f ~ , g ~ , F ~ and G ~ will be defined in Section 2.2. (2) If there exist nonnegative smooth functions h ( u ), l ( v ) and H ( s ) such that

f ( u , v ) h ( u ) l ( v ) + g ( u , v ) h ( u ) l ( v ) = H [ h ( u ) l ( v ) ] 0 ,

then the watershed for blowup in finite time and global existence of the solution is

0 + d s H ( s ) = + .
