A series of independent non-transgenic mutations found at the waxy loci of
wheat; wheat plants having these mutations in their waxy loci; and a
method of creating and finding similar and/or additional mutations of the
waxy by screening pooled and/or individual wheat plants. The wheat plants
of the present invention exhibiting altered waxy activity in the wheat
without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes.
The invention also includes food and non-food products as well as
non-food products that incorporate seeds from the wheat plants having
non-transgenic mutations in one or more waxy genes.
