Maryann Cagle serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the College of Charleston, teaching foundational biology courses including BIOL 112 (Evolution, Form and Function of Organisms) and BIOL 300 (Botany) from her office in the Rita Hollings Science Center at 58 Coming Street.
Her academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. from the University of Memphis
- M.S. from Louisiana State University
Dr. Cagle's research expertise spans Plant Microbial Ecology, Plant Pathology, and Sustainable Agriculture, with specialized focus on fungal endophytes in crop disease systems and invasive species management. She investigates microbial interactions in plants like soybean and kudzu to develop eco-friendly agricultural solutions, emphasizing soil health and pathogen modulation through integrated approaches.
Analysis of her publication history reveals consistent emphasis on microbial community dynamics in plant health, particularly how fungal endophytes influence disease progression in crops and how invasive species control methods affect soil ecosystems. Her work bridges theoretical ecology with practical sustainable farming applications, showing increasing focus on data-driven community analysis since 2020.
