Dr. Vermando M. Aquino is recognized for his significant contributions in phytopathological researches related to the improvement of the major crops: peanut, passion fruit, potato, abaca and banana through the use of molecular and conventional technologies. He also developed immunoassay technique used for early detection of peanut stripes virus (PStV).
