Popis: On previous studies, we constructed a transgenic silkworm which produces the chimeric silk fused green fluorescentprotein (EGFP), but the transgenic silkworm has decreased commercial feasible traits such as convenience of breedingand productivity of silk. In this study, we performed cross fertilization between green fluorescent silk transgenic silk-worm and colored cocoon silkworm descents to make the transgenic the transgenic silkworm producing improved flu-orescence cocoon. In the result, we found out a bit valuable cross fertilization manners (female×male) in respect ofsilk productivity such as T59B ×Jam126, Jam329 ×T59W, T59W ×Jam329, and T59W ×Jam178. The color-differenceof offspring cocoons were measured according to different cross manners using by CIE Lab-based formulae with a X-rite VS450. In the result, the depth of green color of cocoons was a little high at cross manners as Jam329 ×T59W,T59W ×Jam178. Meanwhile, the depth of yellow clolor of cocoons was remarkable at cross manners asJam178 ×T59W, T59W ×Jam178, respectively. Key words : Transgenic silkworm, Breeding, Cocoons, CIE Lab
