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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Chloroplast DNA, Somatic embryogenesis, Evolutionary biology, Cell biology and Bactris gasipaes. He works mostly in the field of Chloroplast DNA, limiting it down to topics relating to Germplasm and, in certain cases, Subfamily, Domestication, Arecaceae, Macaw and Acrocomia aculeata. His work deals with themes such as Protein degradation, DNA methylation, Carbohydrate metabolism, Abiotic stress and Metabolism, which intersect with Somatic embryogenesis.

His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Metabolic pathway and Callus. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Phylogenetic tree, focusing on Botany and, on occasion, Genetic diversity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Micropropagation, Theobroma and Somatic cell.
