“…According to Table 3, our study found that 94% (except G59, G61, G62, and G64) of the evaluated accessions had little to no root constriction, 34.4% (G1, G3, G4, G5, G6, G10, G11, G15, G22, G23, G30, G33, G38, G41, G43, G44, G45, G46, G47, G57, G60, and G64) had white or cream external root color, 5% (G23, G36, and G40) had yellow root pulp color, 31.3% (G2, G9, G12, G13, G15, G24, G28, G29, G33, G34, G35, G36, G48, G49, G50, G52, G53, G55, G59, and G63) had white or cream root cortex, and 46.9% (G7, G9, G11, G13, G16, G20, G25, G26, G29, G32, G35, G37, G39, G40, G41, G42, G43, G45, G46, G48, G49, G50, G51, G53, G54, G55, G56, G57, G58, and G61) had ease of removing the root cortex. Phenotypic characterization and evaluation could make the management and the use of several gene banks more efcient [34,35]. Hence, the characterization and evaluation of plant genetic resources indicate the procedures used to assess, classify, distinguish, identify, avoid duplication, and efciently utilize accessions.…”
