Re: UGC/CSIR/ICAR-NET-JRF Examinations Syllabus
As you want syllabus of Nematology subject of UGC/CSIR/ICAR-NET-JRF Examinations, so here I am providing syllabus of CSIR NET / JRF Examination for your reference: CSIR NET / JRF Exam Nematology SubjectSyllabus Unit 1: History and Economic Importance History and economic importance of nematology; Diseases caused by plant-parasiticnematodes-symptomatology, biology, distribution and management of plant parasitic nematodes of economic importance (Pratylenchus, Radopholus, Hirschmanniella, Meloidogyne, Heterodera, Globodera, Rotylenchulus, Tylenchulus, Ditylenchus, Anguina, Aphelenchoides, Tylenchorhynchus, Helicotylenchus, Hoplolaimus,Scutellonema, Paratylenchus, etc.).Entomopathogenic nematodes. Unit 2 : Nematode Taxonomy and Morphology Principles and concepts of taxonomy.Rules of nomenclature.Nematode phylogenyand systematics.Classification of soil and plant -parasitic nematodes and theirrelationships with other related phyla.Detailed classification of plant – parasiticnematodes up to generic level with emphasis on genera of economic importance.General morphology and anatomy of nematodes. Various systems: digestive, excretory, nervous, reproductive etc., developmental biology of nematodes. Unit 3 : Nematological Techniques Methods of extraction of nematodes from soil and plant material. Microscopy -principles and types including electron microscopes. Methods of killing, fixing,preserving, staining, mounting and measuring of nematodes.Techniques forhistopathology and culturing of nematodes - plant parasitic, entomophilic andsaprophytic including axenic methods.Experimental techniques for provingpathogenicity, estimation of crop losses, nematicide screening, screening andevaluation for nematode resistance in crops.Molecular technique for nematodediagnostics.Techniques for mass culturing of nematode antagonistic bioagents. Unit 4 : Nematode Ecology Ecological classification and distribution of nematodes.Mode of nematode dispersal.Adaptations to parasite mode of life.Soil as environment for nematodes.Effect of biotic and abiotic factors on nematode survival, activity and reproduction.Nematodepopulation dynamics. Nematode -induced plant damage and modeling. Communityanalysis. Unit 5 : Plant Nematode Relationships Types of parasitism in nematodes. Nature of damage caused by various groups ofplant parasitic nematodes and mechanisms involved. Pathotypes in nematodes.Mechanism of nematode resistance and tolerance in plants and its assessment.Physiological, biochemical and molecular changes in plants due to nematodeinfections. Unit 6 : Nematode Physiology and Cytology Chemical composition of nematodes.Principles of nematode physiology.Physiologicalfunctions of cell; organelles.Physiology of respiration, digestion, excretion,reproduction, growth and development.Physiology of muscular, nervous and sensoryresponses.Physiology of moulting, hatching and nematode survival.Chemoreceptionin nematodes.Nematode as biological models - Caenorhabditis elegans. Cytologicalchanges in plants due to infection including syncytia, giant cell formation and theirmodification etc. Unit 7 : Nematode Management Principles and methods of nematode management - physical, cultural biological,chemical and legislative, Nematicides (including those of biological origin) - history,classification, formulations, application and mode of action.Host resistance fornematode management.Integrated nematode management.Role of biotechnology innematode management. Unit 8 : Interactions of Nematodes with Soil Organisms Importance of interactions (interrelationships) of nematodes with soil organisms.Interactions of nematodes with bacteria, fungi, viruses, mycorhizae and othernematodes.Nematodes as vectors of viruses and other microorganisms. Unit 9 : Statistics Frequency distribution. Measures of central tendency and dispersion: mean, median,mode, standard deviation etc. Population distributions : normal, binomial andpoisson. Correlations: partial and multiple. Tests of significance: t, F and Chi squareand randomized block, Latin square and split plot designs, their analysis andinterpretation. |
