His work in the fields of Solanum, such as Melongena, intersects with other areas such as Callus formation. Fernando Nuez has included themes like Phylogenetics and Carotenoid in his Cultivar study. The various areas that Fernando Nuez examines in his Germplasm study include Range, Amplified fragment length polymorphism and Genotype.

Between 2010 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • The genome of melon (Cucumis melo L.) (433 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Botany, Melon, Microsatellite and SNP. The concepts of his Genetics study are interwoven with issues in Cucurbita, Cucumis and Cucurbita pepo. His Botany research incorporates themes from Genetic diversity, Capsicum chinense and Capsicum cardenasii, Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum eximium.

His Melon research includes elements of Biotechnology, Functional genomics, Reverse genetics, TILLING and Candidate gene. He combines subjects such as Solanum, Cultivar and Phylogenetics with his study of Genetic variation. He focuses mostly in the field of Cultivar, narrowing it down to topics relating to Virology and, in certain cases, Solanaceae.
