Identifier
The accession identifier is NPG-AFG-BAL-1120180004, built to the grammar in the project's naming reference: holder NPG (the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System), ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, province segment, month and year of collection, sequence. The sequence counts this holder's accessions with the same country, province and date. The genebank's own number is G 33758.
Sourcing
Everything on this page comes from the GRIN-Global entry, as it stood on 27 October 2026: the passport data, the source history and the donor's narrative. The narrative is the donor's own account of the seed, edited lightly by the curator. GRIN's collector field names Angus on every accession of this donation, including those whose narratives name someone else or nobody, so it is not used here. The narrative names Lucas Strazzeri as the collector, and the infobox does the same. The entry says the accession was, or was attempted to be, included in the 2024 genome sequencing and phenotyping trial run by the USDA Agricultural Research Service with HudsonAlpha. It also carries the curator's notes and trial measurements from field trials in the United States. The article does not report them: they describe plants grown in those trials, not the population where the seed was gathered.
Other accessions
Lucas Strazzeri also collected five lots on the outskirts of Balkh town in November and December 2018 (G 33684 to G 33688), and the donor gave the genebank both those and the lot from near Mazar-i-Sharif he gathered on 1 November (G 33739); each has its own accession here. The wiki's Balkh lots of The Real Seed Company are kept apart from all of them, since a shared province and year is not evidence that two lots are one.
Georeferencing
The point 36.40453, 66.918591 is the one the donor's narrative gives for the field. OpenStreetMap places it at the village of Pusht-i-Bagh, Sholgara District, Balkh Province (node 4393070276). The entry's own coordinate field gives 36.405, 66.912, about 600 m to the west and at the same village; the narrative's finer point is used. Basis: holder's georeference. Uncertainty: not stated by the genebank.
