ANGRAU B.Sc(Ag) Introduction To Plant Pathogens syllabus

Introduction
Importance of plant pathogens. Important phytopathogenic organisms viz.,fungi, bacteria, fastidious vascular bacteria (R.L.O s), phytoplasmas (M.L.Os), spiroplasmas, viruses, viroids, algae, protozoa and nematodes.

General characteristics of fungi
Fungus definition, somatic structures, types of fungal thalli plasmodium, unicellular and filamentous, eucarpic, holocarpic, ectophytic, endophytic, inter cellular, intra cellular and vascular, fungal tissues- plectenchyma (prosenchyma, pseudoparenchyma ). Modifications of mycelium (rhizomorphs,rhizoids, sclerotium, stroma, haustoria, appressorium). Asexualreproduction fragmentation, fission, budding, and sporulation, Sexual reproduction- planogametic copulation, gametangial contact, gametangial copulation, spermatisation, somatogamy . parasexual cycle. life cycle patterns displayed by different fungi with example
