Fungal effector function and evolution
Professional Summary
Daniel Ebbole retired from active duty after 31 years of service to Texas A&M in the Department of Plant Pathology & Microbiology. His research on fungal spore formation and developmental processes during plant infection was funded by NIH, NSF, and USDA. He was involved in several fungal genome sequencing projects including the first filamentous fungus, Neurospora crassa, and the first plant pathogen, Pyricularia oryzae. He is currently finishing his term as a Senior Editor for the journal Phytopathology. Following his retirement he has worked with an agricultural start-up to develop chickpea as a source of sustainable plant-based protein and conduct research and development of new food ingredients based on proprietary ultra high protein chickpea varieties. He anticipates returning to College Station in 2024 to begin enjoying his retirement full-time while remaining close to colleagues at Texas A&M.
