TLDR
The elements, categorized as trace elements, generally are found to have higher mean concentrations in the fruit peels than in the trunks (except in the case of Zn), and peel-trunk uptake ratios have been calculated and range between 1 and 4, showing normal levels of accumulations in the Fruit peels over the trunk.About:

Some soil-plant and root-shoot relationships of copper, zinc and manganese in white clover and perennial ryegrass
TL;DR: White clover and perennial ryegrass were grown separately, in pots maintained under controlled environment conditions, for a period of 7 months on ten soils, and concentrations of Cu and Zn in the shoots were always greater in the clover than in the grass, but concentrations of Mn were generally greater inThe grass than the clovers.
