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

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

Shaobing Peng mainly focuses on Agronomy, Cultivar, Oryza sativa, Dry weight and Yield. He has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Rotation system, Soil carbon and Canopy. His Cultivar study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fertilizer, Osmotic pressure and Soil salinity.

Shaobing Peng interconnects Photosynthesis, Botany, Salinity, Osmotic shock and Chloroplast in the investigation of issues within Oryza sativa. He usually deals with Dry weight and limits it to topics linked to Crop and Sowing, Seeding, Regeneration and Thinning. The Panicle study which covers Chromosomal translocation that intersects with Horticulture.
