It was conducted the laboratory screening of local and foreing rice samples total amount of 29 genotypes to cold tolerance and cold sensivity. As a result of screening for the first time the most perspective genotypes (Lazurnyi, UzROS 7-13 and Kuban 3) were selected as donors to create the initial cold tolerance forms for rice breeding in Kazakhstan. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol13no4/screening-rice-oryza-sativa-l-genetic-resources-for-cold-tolerance-at-the-germination-stage/ foreing rice; perspective genotypes ; rice breeding
