Abstract
⺠The transcriptional Zn/Cd response of the willow Salix caprea was quantified. ⺠Two genotypes from a highly contaminated and a control environment were compared. ⺠In addition to candidate genes an SSH library revealed over 200 metal induced genes. ⺠Constitutive upregulation and isolate-specific induction of genes were revealed. ⺠Willows adapt to environmental Zn/Cd contamination on the transcriptional level.
