About USDA Accession Numbers:
----------------------------
The presence of a seven or eight digit code in this category indicates
that seed of this cultivar has been submitted to the USDA- National
Small Grains Collection (NSGC), currently maintained at the National
Small Grain Repository in Aberdeen, Idaho. Identity of wheat
cultivars in the NSGC are maintained by use of a cereal investigation
number for wheat ("CItr") or plant introduction number ("PI") assigned
by the collection curator. Prior to 1930, CItr numbers were assigned
to all wheats developed as cultivars, wheats included in USDA uniform
testing nurseries or wheats received as foreign introductions. From
1930 to 1983, foreign introductions were assigned PI numbers, but not
CItr numbers. In 1983, assignment of CItr numbers to cultivars and
testing lines was discontinued by the collection curator. Since this
time, all wheats submitted to the NSGC receive only PI number
assignments.
