This study analyzed grain anthocyanin contents of an Elotes Occidentales (EO) maize population subjected to recurrent selection to stabilize grain color and increase anthocyanin content. The original EO population was derived from native varieties collected in Jalisco, Mexico. This original (O) population contributed three subpopulations selected for grain color: a) light (OPL), b) intermediate (OPI), and c) dark (OPD). Recurrent selection cycles of S3 lines within each subpopulation allowed selecting grain color in each selfing generation. Grains of the synthetic populations of each grain color, (FPL, FPI, and FPD) were analyzed for color, size, total anthocyanin content (TAC), and pigment profile. After one cycle of recurrent selection, grains of OPL were lighter, while OPD hue changed from orange-yellow to purple-red. Grain size decreased in all subpopulations, whereas TAC was not significantly affected. The anthocyanin profile was modified for relative proportions of some pigments. Selection cycles stabilized grain color in the subpopulations, decreased grain size, and did not affect anthocyanin content.
Highlights:
- Recurrent selection stabilized grain color in Elotes Occidentales maize subpopulation.
- Total Anthocyanin content was not significantly affected by selection cycle.
- Grain size decreased in all final subpopulations.
- Grain color segregation decreased after one cycle of recurrent selection.
