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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His main research concerns Shoot, Transporter, Cell biology, Hordeum vulgare and Drought tolerance. Guoping Zhang has included themes like Lipid peroxidation, Oxidative stress, Gene, Chromosomal translocation and Metal toxicity in his Shoot study. His Gene study also includes

  • Transcriptome most often made with reference to Poaceae,
  • Crop together with Genotype, microRNA, Genetics and Cultivar.

His Hordeum vulgare study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Shotgun sequencing, Biochemistry, Genomic Structural Variation, Reference genome and Genetic variation. His Drought tolerance study deals with the bigger picture of Agronomy. Xylem is a subfield of Botany that Guoping Zhang investigates.
