Abstract
Breeding of rice varieties for Northern temperate regions always faces difficulty and therefore needs to have diverse sources of materials collected from tropical regions. A study of the collection of tropical rice materials with economically important quantitative traits has been carried out and a considerable variation was found. A positive correlation was recorded between the panicle length and plant height; weight of panicles and weight of 1000 grains; the number of grains per panicle and the ratio of fertile grains. The study results will provide pre-breeding materials for improving productivity and resistant ability of popular rice varieties in Russia.
