Heritability analysis for cold tolerance in lentil was conducted using parental, F2 and F3 populations at two locations in Balochistan, Pakistan and one controlled environment in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. Populations of parental and F2 families were grown over 2 years (1991-92 and 1992-93) at Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan. In 1992-93, parental and F3 families were studied at Quetta, and Kalat, Balochistan, Pakistan. Evaluation for normality using non-transformed and log-transformed data failed. Attempts to use analysis of variance were then abandoned in favour of parent-offspring regression for narrow-sense heritability. Estimates of narrow-sense heritability ranged from 0.31±0.06 to 0.71 ± 0.06 under field conditions. Under controlled conditions, the estimated heritability was maximized at 1.00 ± 0.17 using 6- to 8-week-old lentils. Significant transgressive segregants were found in five of the six populations in the F3 generation. Transgressive segregants appeared in the controlled F3 generation but were not observed in field environments. This indicates that cold tolerance is under additive gene control and is environmentally sensitive in gene expression.
