Measurements of calmodulin (CaM) transcripts with a CaM cDNA we cloned from C. gloeosporioides showed that CaM was induced by hard-surface contact maximally at 2 h and then declined; ethephon enhanced this induction.

Calmodulin, which decreased in roots treated with BL, increased as a result of ethephon treatment.

This gaseous compound was recently found to induce in cells from the marine sponge Suberites domuncula, an increase in intracellular Ca2+ level ([Ca2+] i) and an upregulation of the expression of two genes, the potential ethylene-responsive gene, SDERR, and a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase.
RESULTS: Here we describe for the first time, that besides sponge cells, mammalian cell lines (mouse NIH-3T3 and human HeLa and SaOS-2 cells) respond to ethylene, generated by ethephon, with an immediate and strong, transient increase in [Ca2+] i level, as demonstrated using Fura-2 imaging method.

Biochim Biophys Acta. 2001 Jul 30;1520(1):21-34.

Here, we describe for the first time that also mammalian (3T3) cells respond to ethylene, generated by ethephon, with an immediate and transient, strong increase in [Ca (2+)](i).
Recently, we reported that cells from the sponge Suberites domuncula respond to ethylene with an increase in intracellular Ca (2+) level [Ca (2+)](i), and with an upregulation of the expression of (at least) two genes, a Ca (2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and the potential ethylene-responsive gene, termed SDSNZERR (A.
