Recombinational micro-evolution of functionally different metallothionein promoter alleles from Orchesella cincta

BACKGROUND: Metallothionein (mt) transcription is elevated in heavy metal tolerant field populations of Orchesella cincta (Collembola). This suggests that natural selection acts on transcriptional regulation of mt in springtails at sites where cadmium (Cd) levels in soil reach toxic values This stud...
