Connecting you with the University of Missouri’s innovative research and creative activityBetween the Pistil and the Pollen
A visit with Bruce McClure, Professor, Biochemistry
Research Goals
Topics:
biology
biochemistry
McClure aims to understand how species recognition functions in plants. He sees his work as an intellectual puzzle, and puts much effort into figuring out how these mating mechanisms work. If he can figure out how to remove the mating barrier between incompatible plants, then farmers will see an increase in healthy, productive plants.
