Identifier
The accession identifier is NPG-AFG-UNK-0020230002, 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 entry gives no collection date, so the date segment is month 00 and the year the genebank received the seed, 2023, and the descriptive name carries no year. The sequence counts this holder's accessions with the same country, province and date. The genebank's own number is G 33703.
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 entry also carries the collector's name "FREAKCHUNK" for this lot. 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.
Place and classification
The passport gives Afghanistan as the origin, and the entry adds that the United States was given as a second origin. The infobox gives the country of origin, and the classification and type of an inbred line kept for many generations away from it; the donor calls it an heirloom. The passport's improvement status is landrace.
Breeder
The note names Tom Hill as the breeder only as something said of the line ("It's said that"); the article reports it that way.
Collection date
The note gives the collector as unknown and no date of collection.
Georeferencing
No point is given. The line was bred in the United States and kept in Spain, and the entry names no place in Afghanistan where its stock was gathered.
