Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) Botany part 1 syllabus and course input details have been confirmed by Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University, Ayodhya.
Note: There will be 3 Theory Papers and 1 Practical. In theory paper, there will 9 questions in each paper but students have to attempt only 5 questions. Q.1 will be compulsory based on units I - IV. Two questions will be set from each unit of which one question has to be attempted. All questions will carry equal marks.
Unit I: History, nature and classification of Viruses, Bacteria and Fungi.
History of virology and bacteriology; prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure (bacteria, mycoplasma and yeast); structure, classification and nature of viruses; structure (gram positive and gram negative) and classification (based on cell structure) of bacteria; classification, thallus organisation and reproduction in fungi; economic importance of fungi.
Unit II: Viruses: Symptoms of virus infection in plants; transmission of plant viruses; genome organisation, replication of plant virus (tobacco mosaic virus); techniques in plant viruses - purification, serology and electron microscopy; structure and multiplication of bacteriophages; structure and multiplication of viroids.
Unit III: Bacteria: Nutritional types of bacteria (based on carbon and energy sources), metabolism in different nutritional types (basics only) and nitrogen cycle; bacterial genome and plasmids; bacterial cell division, variability in bacteria - mutation, principles of genetic recombination; techniques in sterilisation, bacterial culture and staining; economic importance.
Unit IV: Fungi: The characteristics and life cycles of the following:
Mastigomycotina: Albugo, Pythium,; Ascomycotina: Saccharomyces, Aspergillus; Ascobolus; Basidiomycotina : Ustilago, Puccinia, Polyporus, Agaricus; Deuteromycotina: Fusarium
Unit I: General characters. Range of thallus organization, classification, ultrastructure of eukaryotic algal cell and cyanobacterial cell, economic importance of algae. Lichens, classification, thallus organization, reproduction, physiology and role in environmental pollution

Unit II: General and comparative account of gametophytic and sprophytic system in Filicopsida -Pteridium, Nephrolepis, Marsilea, Heterospory and seed habit
Unit III: Gymnosperms: General characters, classification. Comparative study of morphology, anatomy, development of vegetative and reproductive parts in: Cycadales: Cycas
Unit IV: Study of morphology, anatomy, development and reproductive parts in:
Coniferales – Pinus; Gnetales - Ephedra Affinities and relationship of Gymnosperms, evolutionary significance. Elementary Palaeobotany: general account, types of fossils, methods of fossilization and geological time scale
