[Display omitted] •Two metallothionein genes from Ostrinia furnacalis were cloned and identified.•Cd, Cu and Zn inhibit the expression of OfMT1 of Ostrinia furnacalis.•Cd and Cu induce the expression of OfMT2 of Ostrinia furnacalis. Metallothioneins are ubiquitously-expressed metal-binding proteins....
