Biography
Dr. Emily G. Cantonwine is currently working as associate professor in Valdosta State University for department of Biolgy. She completed her Ph.D.,in Plant Pathology from University of Georgia, and M.S., Biology in Florida International University, and B.S., Botany, from Miami University. Her research includes fungal disease, plant pathology. She has successfully completed his Administrative responsibilities.she has authored of many research articles related to plant pathology.
Research Interest
My research program uses laboratory and field experiments to study fungal diseases of peanut and methods for control. Specifically my lab works to 1) identify components of resistance of peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea) to infections by fungal pathogens, 2) determine practices that can reduce disease development under organic production systems, and 3) evaluate the curative activity of fungicides used in conventional production systems. Pathogens of interest include Cercospora arachidicola, the cause of early leaf spot, Cercosporidium personatum, the cause of late leaf spot, and the seed and seedling pathogens Rhizopus stolonifer and Aspergillus niger.
