Sergiy A. Shemet conducts researches in the area of combined phytotoxicity of metals and organic pollutants, such as agrochemicals and herbicides, with the accent on mathematical modeling of plant responses to polyelemental contamination. His studies are focused at the metabolism of phenolic compounds as a marker of plant adaptive reactions to different environmental stressors. Such researches enabled better understanding of the role of phenolics in plant metal(loid) homeostasis and led to the development of innovative techniques for diagnostics of environmental factor effects based on plant secondary metabolism reactions.
