- Intervention effect Recurrent selection increased germ proportion of the total kernel by 9%–12%.
- Intervention effect Recurrent selection increased kernel oil content.
- Intervention effect Total carotenoids rose from 13 to 17 mg/kg dry weight only in yellow populations.
- Intervention effect Provitamin A, β-carotenes and β-cryptoxanthin improved in yellow populations.
- Intervention effect Total α- and γ-tocopherols increased up to 39 mg/kg dw.
- Observation Phytosterol composition changed similarly in both populations.
- Observation β-Sitosterol predominated among phytosterols associated with high-oil maize.
