name: strain_name
description: Strain or cultivar name of the organism.
notes:
- 'Microbial strain identifiers and plant cultivar names (governed by the International
  Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, ICNCP) are nomenclaturally distinct,
  but this slot accepts both for now to match the JGI Isolate (NA) v19 form''s combined
  "Strain or cultivar" field. A separate `cultivar_name` slot may be added if a plant-specific
  use case emerges; see #3056.'
- MIxS `subspecf_gen_lin` (MIXS:0000020) covers this concept along with cultivar,
  serovar, biotype, ecotype, and other sub-species lineage types in a single slot
  using a rank-prefix encoding (e.g. "strain:PV-4"). NMDC splits the concept into
  separate slots; this slot covers the strain rank specifically.
- Example values are strain names from GOLD organism_v2.
