Besides, ethylene generator ethephon and abiotic stressor copper could also induce chitinases accumulation among various plant hormones and stress agents examined.

Accumulation of Chia2;B1 mRNA was induced in leaves in association with the local-lesion response to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection, and in response to treatment with salicylic acid, but was only slightly induced by treatment with ethephon.

The synthesis of these transcripts is regulated during development and is induced in roots by wounding and ethephon.

A gene (pMON9617; Chi2;1) identified by screening a tomato pistil cDNA library has been found to encode a protein similar in sequence to class II chitinases.
In vegetative tissue, low levels of Chi2;1 mRNA were detected, and these levels did not increase in response to wounding or treatment with ethephon. mRNA from Chi2;1 orthologs was not detected in most other angiosperms tested, even including some members of the Solanaceae, and it is therefore unlikely that Chi2;1 is essential for stylar function.

Besides cold stress, the expression of the BiCHT1 gene was up-regulated by exposure to 35 degrees C, but not by salt or osmotic stress, abscisic acid, or ethephon.

The individual antifreeze proteins are similar to pathogenesis-related proteins, including glucanases, chitinases, and thaumatin-like proteins.
The ethylene-releasing agent ethephon and the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate also induced high levels of antifreeze activity at 20 degrees C, and this effect could be blocked by the ethylene inhibitor AgNO (3).

Inhibitory effects, albeit weaker, were also found for brefeldin A, BHQ and ethephon.
In addition to this NF hydrolase, NFs and stress-related signals (ethylene and salicylic acid) stimulated a pea chitinase that released lipotrisaccharides from pentameric NFs from S. meliloti.

Ten Capsicum Annuum-Induced (CAI) genes encoding putative thionin, lipid transfer protein I and II, osmotin (PR-5), class I chitinase, beta-1,3-glucanase, SAR 8.2, stellacyanin, leucine-rich repeat protein, and auxin-repressed protein were identified.
In particular, most of the CAI genes were strongly induced in pepper tissues by ethephon and methyl jasmonate.

An examination of the expression profiles of 12 previously identified Pst-inducible genes revealed that the majority of these genes were activated by salicylic acid or BTH; however, expressions of the genes encoding PR4 and a class IV chitinase were induced by ethephon, an ethylene-releasing compound, but not by salicylic acid, BTH, or methyl jasmonate.
