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.
