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

Horticulture, Cultivar, Agronomy, Seedling and Photosynthesis are his primary areas of study. His research in the fields of Shoot overlaps with other disciplines such as Root number. In his research, Reproductive potential, Genetic variability, Pollen and Shrub is intimately related to Germination, which falls under the overarching field of Cultivar.

His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evapotranspiration and Moisture stress, Water content. His Seedling research integrates issues from Plant ecology, Plant physiology, Agriculture and Sowing. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil water, Transcription factor and Natural stress.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Soybean seed physiology, quality, and chemical composition under soil moisture stress. (30 citations)
