Abstract: Provided herein are powdery mildew-resistant grapevine plants and methods for providing powdery mildew resistance to susceptible grapevine plants. Specifically, provided herein are grapevine plants including in their genome an impaired Erysiphe necator resistance-conferring gene, wherein the corresponding not impaired Erysiphe necator resistance conferring resistance-conferring gene designated VvMLO13 encodes a protein including the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 1, or proteins having 95% sequence identity therewith. The impairment results in an absence of a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 1, or proteins having 95% sequence identity therewith, in the grapevine plant and wherein the grapevine plant is resistant to powdery mildew.
