The crossing experiment and the selection experiment were carried out at 25℃ and 67% r.h. to define genetic mechanisms of the colour variation in larvae of Ephestia kuhniella. The populations sampled from the Wild-type stock showed the wide range of continuous colour variation from white to deep pink in the 5th inster lavae. The results of the crossing experiment between white larval strain and red larval strain selected from the Wild-type stock suggested the larval colour variation was a quantitative character inherited under the form of autosomal polygene. The analysis of variance component indicated additive genetic variance was the largest component and dominance effect was absent or balanced. The estimated heritability was 0.87. It was inferred two pairs of alleles were concerned in this character. The results of the two-way selection experiment showed the realized heritability for the selection for red colour was larger than that for the selection for white colour and the pooled realized heritability was 0.51.
