Özet

Grass pea is a popular crop in subsistence farming in certain developing countries that have under adverse environmental conditions to provide an economic yield and to offer great potential for use in marginal low-rainfall areas. This study was conducted to determine trace element contents of a total of 173 grass pea genotypes, of which 93 were collected under natural conditions in Antalya. The trace element amounts in the grass pea genotypes are minimum, maximum and mean respectively; Se 0, 0.84, 0.16; Mn 4.32, 21.47, 12.02; Cu 3.13, 18.73, 8.35; Fe 21.28, 181.29, 56.98; Mg 499.48, 2720.17, 1433.77; Mo 0.70, 9.50, 3.69 and Co 0, 0.27, 0.12 mg/kg were found. Principal component analysis clearly split the grass pea genotypes into 2 groups and the first 2 principal components accounted around 71.40% of the total variations. Detected values indicate that 173 grass pea genotypes have a large variation in terms of trace elements. Our results provide a useful foundation for the development of new cultivars of grass pea that have high mineral content.
