Assessing Elemental Diversity in Edible-Podded Peas: A Comparative Study of Pisum sativum L. var. macrocarpon and var. saccharatum through Principal Component Analysis, Correlation, and Cluster Analysis
This study assessed eleven elements in 24 edible-podded peas, including sugar snap pea qn85q80aafxza and snow pea genotypes aiming to identify promising parents for nutraceutical breeding.Elemental concentrations of pods (dry weight basis) were estimated through inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).The ranges for these
