Lucian Emil CREŢU

Lucian Emil CREŢU serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Plant Science at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Life Sciences 'Ion Ionescu de la Brad' from Iasi, Romania. His research focuses on advancing plant genetics through cytogenetics, experimental mutagenesis, and in vitro tissue culture techniques.

His primary research interests encompass plant genetics, cytogenetics, mutagenesis, plant tissue culture, and plant breeding, with specialized work on millet (Panicum miliaceum) and legume crop improvement. He employs experimental techniques to develop novel cultivars and study genetic variations under Romanian agricultural conditions.

Publications from 2001-2004 reveal concentrated research on millet breeding, including mutagenesis applications, heterosis intensity, phenophase duration, and cultivar adaptation for successive cropping systems. His work demonstrates consistent focus on grain quality, yield capacity, and regional adaptation of Panicum species.

• Joint author of the Moldrom-1 grain millet cultivar

He participated in three research contracts including CNCSIS molecular marker studies for pod beans and white lupine germoplasm, plus agricultural microbiology collaboration. No student advisement details appear in the source material, though editorial work includes the Scientific Bulletin – Agronomy Series.
