Her main research areas are plant physiology, physiological responses of weeds to stress conditions, especially antioxidant responses and gene expression, allelopathic interactions (via volatile organic compounds as well as compounds secreted by plant roots, extracts and the dominant compound in the extract) to obtain environmentally friendly bioherbicides, elicitation of secondary metabolites production in plants, molecular biology and biotechnology and in vitro micropropagation of rare and endangered species and their acclimatization. Dr. Dmitrović was involved in science promotion by participating in the event European Night of Researchers in front of the "NEPETOME" project in 2022 in Belgrade as part of the project "Road to Friday of Science and Art - ReFocusS Art", funded by the European Commission under "Horizon Europe" - Research and Innovation Program, sub-program "Maria Sklodovska Curie" (HORIZON-MSCA-2022-CITIZENS-01 – ReFocusS Art – 101061356).
