Abstract: Dehydration responsive element binding protein 2 (DREB2) is a transcription factorꎬ which plays a regulatory
role to droughtꎬ high salinity and high temperature responding in model plants. Howeverꎬ it is still unclear for the
function of DREB2 genes in Primulina wentsaiiꎬ which is adapted to limestone karst habitats with drought ̄high
temperature environment. DREB2 homologous genes responding to dual stresses of drought and high temperatureꎬ were
screened in P. wentsaii. It could provide a new gene pool for the creation of resistant germplasm in Gesneriaceae. In this
studyꎬ specific primers were designed based on transcriptome sequences of P. wentsaii firstlyꎬ gDNA and cDNA were
used as templates to isolate PwDREB2 genes. Thenꎬ amino acid sequencesꎬ phylogenetic relationships and consensus
motifs were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. As wellꎬ the expression patterns of PwDREB2s genes were analyzed by
semi ̄quantitative reverse transcription PCR (sqRT ̄PCR) with single stressꎬ such as low temperatureꎬ heat shockꎬ
simulated drought (osmosis)ꎬ high salinityꎬ exogenous ABA and oxidationꎬ respectively. Finallyꎬ the transcript levels of
designated membersꎬ which could respond to single stresses and drought ̄heat shock combined stressesꎬ were detected
with different drought ̄heat shock patterns by quantitative real ̄time PCR (qRT ̄PCR). The results were as follows: (1)
Eight intron ̄lacking PwDREB2s genes were isolatedꎬ they could encode 198-386 amino acidsꎬ which contained several
typical characteristic regions such as AP2/ ERF domainꎬ nuclear localization signal or transcriptional activation domainꎬ
respectivelyꎻ (2) Transcription factorsꎬ such as PwDREB2A/ 2AL1/ 2AL2ꎬ PwDREB2D/ 2DL and PwDREB2F were
classified into subtype 1ꎬ subtype 2 and subtype 3 of A ̄2 subgroupꎬ respectivelyꎬ while PwDREB2EL1/ 2EL2 were
classified into A ̄6 subgroupꎻ (3) Semi ̄quantitative RT ̄PCR analysis showed that the transcript levels of PwDREB2s
genes were induced by a series of single stressesꎬ among which PwDREB2A/ 2AL1/ 2AL2/ 2D genes could simultaneously
respond to simulated drought and heat shockꎻ (4) qRT ̄PCR results revealed that the PwDREB2D geneꎬ which was
responding to drought ̄heat shock combined stressesꎬ was tissue ̄specificꎬ it could only be strongly induced in
rhizomes. Compared with mock groupꎬ the transcriptional responses of PwDREB2A/ 2AL1/ 2AL2 genes were significantly
enhanced under natural drought ̄heat shock combined stresses with soil matrixꎬ except for PwDREB2D gene. Howeverꎬ
when it was compared with the single stress of natural drought and heat shockꎬ the expression levels of PwDREB2AL1/
2AL2 genes were significantly higher in natural drought ̄heat shock combined stresses. In conclusionꎬ PwDREB2AL1/
2AL2 genes may play the important regulatory role in response to dual stresses of natural drought and high temperature in
P. wentsaii.
