      abstract = {Powdery mildew (PM) is a fungal disease that damages many  crops, including grapes. In California, wine, raisin, and  table grapes contributed over $3.8 billion to the value of  California’s farm production in 2011 (California Department  of Food and Agriculture, 2012). Grape varieties with  resistance to powdery mildew are currently being developed,  using either conventional or transgenic approaches, each of  which has associated advantages and disadvantages.  PM-resistant varieties of grapes could yield large economic  benefits to California grape growers—potentially allowing  cost savings as high as $70 million per year, but benefits  range widely across the different grape production systems.  The benefits might be even larger if environmental  regulations over the use of pesticides were changed to  limit some currently effective PM management protocols. On  the other hand, grapes produced using non-vinifera or  transgenic vines might suffer a price discount compared  with conventional alternatives.},
