Identifier
The accession identifier is NPG-PAK-KHY-0020260004, 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, 2026, 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 34122.
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. The narrative names Sascha Eckstein as the collector, and the infobox does the same. The entry carries 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
The passport gives North-West Frontier, Pakistan, the old name of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as the origin. The note places the collection near Peshawar, and the lot's name calls it a village lot.
Other accessions
The 2023 donation's Afghan #1 and #2 (G 33678 and G 33679) were bought by the same collector in the bazaars of Peshawar in 2019. This lot was collected near the city, and the entry does not tie it to them.
Georeferencing
The note places the collection near Peshawar and names no village. The point 34.01, 71.58 is the middle of Peshawar City Tehsil in OpenStreetMap (relation 16487008), and the uncertainty is widened to take in the country around the city. It is not the place the seed was gathered. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 20 km.
