Effects of backward scattering between fractional quantum Hall
(FQH) edge modes are studied. Based on the edge-state picture
for hierarchical FQH liquids, we discuss the possibility of
the transitions between different plateaux of the tunneling
conductance G. We find a selection rule for the sequence
which begins with a conductance 
(m: integer,
p: even integer) in units of 
. The shot-noise spectrum
as well as the scaling behavior of the tunneling current is
calculated explicitly.
