1970 UMS Turkey MS-SEE Reproduction is a reproduction accession of Cannabis sativa grown from seed recorded as coming from Turkey. It is known from two herbarium sheets that M. W. Quimby gathered in 1970 and 1971 at the University of Mississippi, whose labels carry the code MS-SEE and call the seed Turkish. The sheets are held in the Economic Botany Herbarium of the Harvard University Herbaria.[1][2]
Seed lot
The 1970 label reads Seed source: Turkish, F.L. 9/26/69, lever pak no. 101[1] and the 1971 label Seed source: Turkish, F.L. 9-26-69, lever pak no. 101.[2] The same initials and date, with lever pak no. 102, appear on the labels of the MS-SGG lot. Quimby also grew Turkish seed under other codes, in 1970 under MS-SDD (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019700001), MS-SPP (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019700003) and MS-SY (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019700004) and in 1971 under MS-SFF (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019710001), MS-SGG (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019710002) and MS-SHHH (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019710003). In 1972 the university's garden grew the Turkish original sample T A (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019720001), lots coded T A1, T A2 and T A3, which the labels call its generations, and a third seed lot, T C (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019720002).
Grow-out
The plants grew on university land at University, in Lafayette County, Mississippi, under cultivation in silt-like soil (loess).[1] In 1968 the National Institute of Mental Health offered a contract for the supply of standardised marijuana to researchers, and Norman Doorenbos, who chaired the university's Department of Pharmacognosy, won it. The university's own account of the programme says that the first experimental plot, grown that year, was sown with seed from Mexico, Panama, Southeast Asia, Korea, India, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Lebanon, and that a secured garden was built in 1969 for the first substantial crop.[3]
Specimens and identification
Both sheets came to Harvard from the herbarium of the Department of Pharmacognosy of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy. The label name is Cannabis sativa Linnaeus. On 16 February 1976 Ernest Small determined them as Cannabis sativa Linnaeus, the name under which Harvard files them.[1]
