01/1231 (2.106 mg/kg), 01/1551 (2.106 mg/kg), and check 91/0232 (2.107 mg/kg). For Cu, the highest concentrations were recorded in the check genotype 30,572 (8.131 mg/kg). However, its contents were the lowest in genotypes 01/1296 (3.061 mg/kg) and 01/1172 (3.326 mg/kg). All the genotypes recorded significant contents of both Mo and Co and were significantly the same with the checks. Nickel (Ni) had the highest concentration in genotype 00/0028 (3.325 mg/kg). All the genotypes showed significantly higher levels of the mineral concentration than the check genotypes, which are white-fleshed. Thus, the yellow-fleshed roots are richer in minerals than the white-fleshed roots. Besides, the genotypes that showed higher levels of mineral density than the check genotypes could be advanced to the next stage in the breeding program.
