Violeta SIMIONIUC

Violeta SIMIONIUC is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pedotechnics at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Iași, Romania. Her contact details include: 3, Mihail Sadoveanu Alee, Iași, 700490; Tel: +40 232 407.536; Email: violeta.simioniuc@iuls.ro.

Research Focus: Her work spans plant breeding, genetic diversity analysis, and mutagenesis, with emphasis on Phaseolus vulgaris (green beans) and Hordeum vulgare (barley). She employs molecular markers, quantitative trait evaluation, and germplasm characterization to study crop adaptation and variability.

Publication Trends: Her 6 key publications (1998–2004) focus on mutagenesis effects in bean cultivars, genetic diversity in barley using SSR markers, and agronomic evaluation of pod bean landraces. Research consistently integrates field experiments with genetic analysis to advance legume and cereal breeding.
