Narrative
Received from Robert Clarke at Cornell Hemp Grain & Fiber Field Day in Geneva, NY. See attached PDF from Donor. Donor verbatim notes: [“Narlisaray is a traditional low-THC fiber landrace still grown in Narlisaray village of Turkey as it has been for generations. Here is a link to Quest for the Golden Fiber our 30 minute documentary which shows the local cultivation for fiber and seed. Include it in the passport info if you feel it will be appropriate. I wish we had more visuals to accompany accessions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c99uCi6xO5c I also wrote an article about Anatolian hemp history etc. which I include here: Narlisaray is an open-pollinated landrace or farmers’ variety that also will soon (we hope) be trialled in the EU and added to the EU certified list of cultivars. Then it can be defined and designated as a ‘cultivar’. Note: This was the path followed by ‘Finola’ which started as a far northern feral accession sourced from the Vavilov Institute which was population selected to morph it into a grain seed cultivar. This process was relatively quick and is an interesting topic for those studying feral populations. If it only takes a few generations to select a seed propagated cultivar, then how long does it take a cultivar to revert to the feral phenotype? Narlisaray’s greatest strength is as a long fiber and biomass producer. Historically it was used for making rope. Biomass is one of the most promising present-day uses of Cannabis. At its native 38 degrees latitude (comparable to San Francisco) it often reaches four to five meters and flowers in time to mature seed. Grown farther north it will flower very late allowing larger biomass accumulation, but precluding seed production. Seed would best be produced in Turkey or elsewhere at lower latitude and supplied to northern farmers. The seeds we donated were made three years ago and stored in a farm barn. Viability in September was 25%. We will collect more fresh seed this winter, but you should have enough for phenotyping and multiplication this spring. If not please let us know in time to mail more to you. Maybe to be more efficient we could simply supply you with clean, fresh seed to send to Svalbard. How much would they need? Being an open-pollinated landrace it is a population inbred between naturally and agronomically selected males and females. Therefore on a population level they are relatively true breeding and express their characteristic phenotype, and on an individual plant level there is considerable phenotypic variability offering potential for selective breeding. Credit should go to generations of Narlisaray farmers. Note: Narlisary means "Pomegranate Palace” and is actually spelled Narlısaray in Turkish. The undotted “ı” is a Turkish vowel.”]
