This study assessed eleven elements in 24 edible-podded peas, including sugar snap pea 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 elements varied significantly, highlighting the diverse elemental profiles within the edible-podded pea genotypes. All the elements exhibited a high genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation along with considerable heritability and hereditary progress. Positive and significant correlations were recorded among all elements, suggesting the potential for simultaneous selection for these traits. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the first two components accounted for 80.56% of the variation. Further, cluster analysis, based on Euclidean distance, grouped the 24 cultivars into two major clusters. Cluster I exhibited higher means for all estimated concentrations compared to Cluster II. Notably, Dwarf Grey Sugar and Arka Sampoorna from the snap pea group and PED-21-5 and Sugar Snappy from the sugar snap pea in Cluster II demonstrated superior elemental concentration in whole pods. The selected edible-podded pea genotypes serve as valuable genetic resources for new cultivar development, particularly in biofortification efforts targeting whole pod nutrient composition.
