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

Agronomy, Food security, Plant breeding, Hordeum vulgare and Mediterranean Basin are her primary areas of study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Arid and Stress responsive genes. The concepts of her Food security study are interwoven with issues in Empowerment and Livelihood.

Her study in Plant breeding is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroforestry, Sorghum and Domestication. Her Hordeum vulgare research includes themes of Plant disease resistance, Crop, Stem rust, Quantitative trait locus and Locus. Her research integrates issues of Doubled haploidy and Sowing in her study of Mediterranean Basin.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Pearl millet genome sequence provides a resource to improve agronomic traits in arid environments (146 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Gene
  • Statistics

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Mediterranean Basin, Drought tolerance, Doubled haploidy and Quantitative trait locus. Her Agronomy study incorporates themes from Arid and Stress responsive genes. Her studies deal with areas such as DSSAT, Climate change, Growing season and Sowing as well as Arid.

Her Mediterranean Basin research is included under the broader classification of Mediterranean climate. Stefania Grando interconnects Staple food, Plant breeding, Genomics, Domestication and Genetic variation in the investigation of issues within Drought tolerance. Her work carried out in the field of Doubled haploidy brings together such families of science as Botany, Crop yield, Locus and Hordeum vulgare.
