A series of independent non-transgenic mutations found at thewaxy 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. On décrit une série de mutations transgéniques indépendantes trouvée au niveau des sites cireux du blé; des plantes de blé dont les sites cireux comprennent ces mutations; et une méthode pour créer et trouver des mutations similaires et/ou supplémentaires desdits sites cireux par criblage de plantes de blé groupées et/ou isolées. Les plantes de blé de l'invention présentent une activité cireuse dans le blé sans inclusion d'acides nucléiques étrangers dans leurs génomes. L'invention concerne également des produits alimentaires et des produits non alimentaires, ainsi que des produits non alimentaires incorporant des graines des plantes de blé présentant des mutations non transgéniques dans un ou plusieurs gènes cireux.
