Speakers

Professor Beverley Glover (Fellow of Queens' )

Beverley Glover

Beverley Glover has been Director of the Cambridge University Botanic Garden and Professor of Plant Systematics and Evolution since 2013. She is also a Fellow of Queens' College. Her research is focused on the development, function and evolution of floral features which enhance pollination success. This work is important because the enormous species diversity of the flowering plants can be attributed, at least in part, to the reproductive isolation resulting from the recruitment of animals as pollen vectors. This understanding also underpins research into security of animal-pollinated food crops, providing opportunities to support plant breeders in their efforts to optimize yields of key crops.
