1.Introduction:Importance of plant diseases, scope and objectives of Plant Pathology. History of Plant Pathology with special reference to Indian work.Terms and concepts in Plant Pathology.Pathogenesis.Cause and classification of plant diseases. Important plant pathogenic organisms, different groups: fungi, bacteria, fastidious vesicular bacteria, phytoplasmas, spiroplasmas, viruses, viroids, algae, protozoa, phanerogamic parasites and nematodes with examples of diseases caused by them. Diseases and symptoms due to abiotic causes.
2.Fungi: general characters, definition of fungus, somatic structures, types of fungal thalli, fungal tissues, modifications of thallus, reproduction (asexual and sexual). Nomenclature, Binomial system of nomenclature, rules of nomenclature, classification of fungi Key to divisions,sub-divisions, orders and classes.
