Talk:ACE-MAR-HOC-0120200001

Identifier

The accession identifier is ACE-MAR-HOC-0120200001, built to the grammar in the project's naming reference, §8B: holder, ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, province segment, month, year, sequence.

• Holder segment ACE is new. It is proposed for ACE Seeds and needs adding to the holder-code table in §8B before this batch is deployed.
• Year 2020 is the earliest year the line is attested in an archived capture of the vendor's catalogue (https://www.aceseeds.org/en/destacados/moroccobeldiakifstandard.html, captured 2020-08-12). No source gives a collection year. This follows the rule applied to Malawi Gold: where a collection year is missing, the identifier takes the first attested year.
• Month 01 is a placeholder, as for other accessions whose year comes from first attestation rather than a stated collection date.
• Province segment HOC is for Morocco.

The first-attested year is a lower bound, not a collection date. The Wayback Machine's first capture of a product page is the earliest date the archive saw it, not the earliest date the line was sold. If an earlier capture or an earlier catalogue is found, the identifier should move.

Sourcing

Everything on this page comes from ACE Seeds' own product listing, read from a Wayback Machine capture rather than the live site: the network in use when the page was drafted blocked cannabis seed retailers at the carrier. The listing is a vendor's account of its own stock and is attributed as such throughout.

The vendor's structured fields give the type as P2 LANDRACE STRAIN and the genetics as 2nd generation moroccan pure sativa.

Georeferencing

No coordinate is asserted. ACE Seeds names the Rif, in northern Morocco, but the listing does not identify a collection point, and a point inferred from the named area would describe the area rather than the population. Whether this batch should carry inferred points to the standard used for the RSC accessions is an open call.

Conservation priority

Not rated. The ratings for a batch are set against the criteria in the design reference and the list is approved before it goes on the pages, so this field is deliberately left empty here.

Open

• The ACE holder code needs ratifying (§8B).
• No photograph has been uploaded. ACE Seeds has given permission covering its images, so these do not need the fair-use treatment the RSC photographs carry, but there is no licence template for material used by the copyright holder's permission and one has to be written first.
• No conservation priority has been rated.

Province segment

ACE Seeds names the Rif "near to Ketama and Chefchaouen". Ketama is in Al Hoceima Province and Chefchaouen is in its own province, so the listing spans two. The segment HOC follows the existing Moroccan accessions rather than asserting that the seed came from Ketama specifically. If that reading is wrong the segment should become UNK.

The catalogue also carries slugs reading marruecosbeldiaf1-regular, an F1 naming that does not match this listing's second-generation description. Whether that was a different lot under a different name has not been established.
