Abstract
Broadly, the present invention relates to mutating starch genes in polyploid cereal grains. Specifically, this invention concerns mutant wheat plants, mutant wheat grain and the starch therefrom.
Claims12
A full waxy starch mutant allele polyploidy wheat plant, said plant comprising:
- a polyploid set of chromosomes,
- a mutation in the starch waxy allele of each set of said chromosomes, wherein at least one of such mutations produces a non-null waxy protein.
A non-null waxy polyploid wheat plant.
A full non-null waxy polyploid wheat plant which has been produced from a parent plant by mutagenesis with a mutagen to produce said non-null in a waxy gene which encodes a non-null waxy protein.
A waxy polyploid wheat seed which is non-null at the waxy allele.
