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

Steven P. C. Groot focuses on Germination, Horticulture, Quantitative trait locus, Moisture and Botany. His Germination study incorporates themes from Arabidopsis, Cell biology, Auxin, Cutting and Somatic embryogenesis. His studies in Arabidopsis integrate themes in fields like Embryo and Somatic cell.

Steven P. C. Groot combines subjects such as Crop and Longevity with his study of Horticulture. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Quantitative trait locus, Dormancy, Stratification and Seed dormancy is strongly linked to Ageing. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Epistasis and Doubled haploidy.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Prolonging the longevity of ex situ conserved seeds by storage under anoxia (42 citations)
  • Barley Seed Aging: Genetics behind the Dry Elevated Pressure of Oxygen Aging and Moist Controlled Deterioration. (19 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Steven P. C. Groot mainly investigates Germination, Quantitative trait locus, Botany, Horticulture and Ageing. His Germination study incorporates themes from Seedling and Longevity. His Seedling research incorporates themes from Shoot, Epistasis, Doubled haploidy and Brassica rapa.

His work on Stratification and Seed dormancy as part of general Dormancy research is often related to Partial pressure and Common method, thus linking different fields of science. His Moisture research overlaps with other disciplines such as Allele and Caryopsis. His Ex situ conservation research incorporates elements of Dry storage, Anoxic waters, Initial rate, Oxygen uptake and Temporary storage.
