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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

Her primary areas of study are Lotus japonicus, Karrikin, Arabidopsis, Phenotype and Receptor. Her Lotus japonicus study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Mutant. Her Karrikin study frequently involves adjacent topics like Plant hormone.

Her studies in Phenotype integrate themes in fields like Signal transduction, Computational biology, Signalling and Interactome. In the field of Receptor, her study on Ligand overlaps with subjects such as Hydrolase. Caroline Gutjahr connects Genetic screen with Hormone receptor in her research.
