A series of independent non-transgenic mutations found at thewaxy loci ofwheat； wheat plants having these mutations in their waxy loci； and a method ofcreating and finding similar and/or additional mutations of the waxy byscreening pooled and/or individual wheat plants. The wheat plants of thepresent invention exhibiting altered waxy activity in the wheat without havingthe inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes. The invention alsoincludes food and non-food products as well as non-food products thatincorporate seeds from the wheat plants having non-transgenic mutations in oneor more waxy genes.
