A unique identifier which identifies the collection to which the germplasm belongs within the holding institute (e.g. CIMMYTWHEAT).
This number serves as the current unique identifier for the germplasm sample. If it concerns an accession within a genebank collection this refers to the accession number which is assigned when a sample is entered into the genebank collection.
Flag indicating whether the germplasm is a genebank accession or not. If the germplasm is a genebank accession then the local unique identifier is the accession number (Y/N).
