In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Oryza sativa, Cultivar, Grain quality and Crop. Anna M. McClung focuses mostly in the field of Agronomy, narrowing it down to matters related to Methane and, in some cases, Greenhouse gas and Aerenchyma. Anna M. McClung combines subjects such as Evolutionary biology and Germplasm with her study of Oryza sativa.

In most of her Cultivar studies, her work intersects topics such as Yield. Her studies deal with areas such as Genetic marker, Genetic association and Genetic architecture as well as Grain quality. Her research investigates the connection between Crop and topics such as Food science that intersect with issues in Gut flora.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • In vitro Fermentation Patterns of Rice Bran Components by Human Gut Microbiota (14 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Agriculture
  • Genetics

Anna M. McClung spends much of her time researching Agronomy, Grain quality, Oryza sativa, Food science and Genetic marker. Her Agronomy study incorporates themes from Methane and Greenhouse gas. The various areas that Anna M. McClung examines in her Grain quality study include Drip irrigation, Irrigation, Field capacity and Irrigation management.

Her research in Oryza sativa intersects with topics in Composition, Cultivar, Crop, Metabolomics and Metabolite. Her work on Prebiotic and Fermentation as part of general Food science study is frequently linked to Prevotella and Roseburia, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her work deals with themes such as Sowing, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture, Locus and Phytic acid, which intersect with Genetic marker.
