Both nitric oxide (NO) and calcium ion (Ca 2+ )/calmodulin (CaM) have been shown to regulate the senescence of cut flowers. However, not much is known about the crosstalk between NO and Ca 2+ /CaM during the senescence of cut flowers. In this study, cut Oriental × Trumpet hybrid lily “Manissa” were used to investigate the roles and relationship between NO and Ca 2+ /CaM during postharvest freshness. The results show that the effects of CaCl 2  or NO donor SNAP on the vase life, maximum flower diameter and hours until full opening were dose-dependent, with an optimum concentration of 20 mM CaCl 2  or 100 μM SNAP. However, Ca 2+  chelators EGTA or BAPTA/AM, Ca 2+  channel inhibitors LaCl 3  or nifedipine and CaM antagonists W-7 or TFP inhibited the promotion of SNAP. SNAP applied alone significantly increased the endogenous Ca 2+ /CaM contents in cut lily flowers, while EGTA, BAPTA/AM, LaCl 3 , nifedipine, W-7, and TFP decreased the advancement of SNAP. In addition, the SNAP-induced Ca 2+ -ATPase activity was more than twice as much as the control, but EGTA, BAPTA/AM, LaCl 3 , nifedipine, W-7, and TFP also reversed the enhancement. Moreover, EGTA, BAPTA/AM, LaCl 3 , nifedipine, W-7, and TFP prevented the SNAP-induced upregulation of gene expression of  CaM ,  CBL1 , and  CBL3 , which is associated with calcium signaling pathway. Overall, these results suggest that Ca 2+ /CaM may function as downstream molecules in NO-regulated senescence of cut flowers.
