Page scope

NPG-PAK-KHY-0020230001 is about a single collection of cannabis, a seed lot or a herbarium specimen: where and when it was gathered, by whom, and what the sources say about the plants.

Identifier

The accession identifier is NPG-PAK-KHY-0020230001, 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 33683.

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 donor's own text for this lot is short; most of what the entry says is the curator's summary of it. The narrative names no collector, so the infobox leaves the field empty. 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.

Classification

The infobox gives the classification as feral, from the entry's note that the seed appears to come from a feral population. The passport's improvement status is landrace. Both are reported in the article.

Georeferencing

No point is given. The name Balakot resolves to more than one place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: the town in the Kaghan valley, Mansehra District (Wikidata Q3428696, 34.55, 73.35), and a village of that name about 100 km to the north-west (OpenStreetMap node 12011180075, 35.32, 72.61). The entry does not say which one the seed came from.
