The genetic relationship between growth at low temperatures and susceptibility to cold injury was investigated in parental varieties, and their F1 and F2 of M. sativa. High and positive correlation coefficients were found between parental varieties. The phenotypic variances of growth at low temperature and cold injury were significantly greater in F2 than in F1, under single plant conditions. The heritabilities of both characters were high (0. 25-0. 57) in F1 and F2. The phenotypic, genotypic and environmental correlation coefficients were very close to zero in F2. The positive correlation coefficients between cold injury and growth at low temperature is interpreted as an independent response to natural selection in the parental varieties. Cold resistance has been combined with growth at low temperatures and a rapid response to selection may be expected on the basis of this investigation.
