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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Botany, Frankia, Actinorhizal plant, Symbiosis and Rosales are her primary areas of study. Katharina Pawlowski combines topics linked to Root nodule with her work on Botany. While the research belongs to areas of Frankia, Katharina Pawlowski spends her time largely on the problem of Candidatus, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Coriaria and Datisca.

She combines subjects such as Endoplasmic reticulum, Calreticulin, Cell biology, Plant cell and Cell wall with her study of Actinorhizal plant. Katharina Pawlowski has included themes like Salinity, Clade and Plant physiology in her Symbiosis study. Her Rosales research includes themes of Rhizobia and Datisca glomerata.
