M. Sc. BOTANY – Syllabus 2017-18 Onwards 0 M. Sc. BOTANY – Syllabus 2017-18 onwards Syllabus as Per the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) (Curriculum Effective From July 2017 -18 Onwards) Submitted by Dr. P. RAVICHANDRAN Professor & Head and Chairperson, Board of Studies in Plant Science DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SCIENCE Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli 1 Introduction Botany is a vital branch of science deals with the study of Algae, Fungi, Lichens, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms, their classification, structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, chemical properties, uses and ecological & evolutionary relationships among the different groups. The continued investigations of plants are fundamental in this post- industrial, knowledge-based modern era because they provide countless precious goods and services that underpin almost all life on the planet Earth. A greater understanding and knowledge of plants and their unique processes is inevitable to the future of human societies as it will enable us to overcome the challenges posed and reap benefits from the opportunities offered in this century. The constantly updated curriculum, continuous performance appraisal and feedbacks, and regular career counseling are ideally designed to help the aspiring students to get through the SLET/ NET/IFS and many other competitive exams. To make the students more competent and confident, the multidisciplinary approach as well as the scope for training in personality development and communication skills are given importance. Outcome of the Program The program focuses on the unified nature of Plant Science and aims to generate young minds through competent teaching, and training on key technologies. Students will be encouraged to participate in research providing them opportunity to experiment their understanding and to reveal the relationship between the conventional education and research. Eligibility: Undergraduate (B. Sc.) Botany, Plant Biology & Plant Biotechnology with a minimum of 55 % Marks and for reserved categories 50 %. Admission will be based on an entrance test for 50 marks and UG marks will be taken for another 50 %. The average of both shall be above 50. Total number of seats sanctioned is 20 (twenty only). 2 M.

  • Sensory Plaque Organs of Fulgoridae (Homoptera: Fulgoroidea)
    $¥!roft 16: 187-207(1996 ) Chinese J. Entomol. 16: 187-207(1996) Antenna! Sensory Plaque Organs of Fulgoridae (Homoptera: Fulgoroidea) Chiou-Ling Cheng* and Chung-Tu Yang Department of Entomology, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung 402, Taiwan, R.O.C. ABSTRACT The antenna! sensory plaque organs of 46 species of Fulgoridae were examined. Type I (including subtype 1 and subtype 2) and Type II sensory plaque organs were observed. Type I : denticles with smooth surfaces. Subtype 1: cuticular ring obviously elevated. Denticles cone-shaped, incurved or erect, more or less longer on one side, gradually shortening to opposite side. Between cuticular ring and plate surface grooved. Subtype 2: cuticular ring not elevated. Denticles somewhat laterally curved, at apices distinctly directed mesad. Betwe~n cuticular ring and plate surface not grooved. Type II: denticles with ridged outer surface. The evolutionary trend of this organ in Fulgoridae is proposed to be Type I to Type II, but the relationship is unclear between the 2 subtypes. An assessment of the phylogenetic relationship of Fulgoridae according to the character of the antennal sensory plaque organ indicates that the Poiocerinae and Phenacinae, and the Fulgorinae and Aphaeninae are 2 subfamily-groups. Key words: Fulgoridae, antennae, sensory plaque organs. Introduction the fulgorid Fulgora maculata Olivier ( =Laternaria maculata). Then, the ultra­ Fulgoridae is one of the large fami­ structure of the antennal plaque organ of lies in Fulgoroidea, containing 5 subfami­ Pyrops candelaria L. was described in lies, 108 genera, and 543 species (Metcalf, detail (Lewis and Marshall, 1970; Mar­ 1947; O'Brien and Wilson, 1985).

An annotated list of eighteen species of the family Fulgoridae from Khao Krachom Mountain, Ratchaburi Province of Thailand is given. Three species, Pyrops connectens (Atkinson, 1885), Pyrops spinolae (Westwood, 1842) and Zanna nobilis (Westwood, 1838), are recorded from Thailand for the first time and two species of the genus Dichoptera Spinola, 1839 represent a new country record or even a species new to science. Data on the preferred habitat and host plants of lanternflies are also provided and briefly discussed. Key words: Fulgoroidea, fauna, new records, habitat, host plants, Southeast Asia. К.

Приводится аннотированный список 18 видов фонарниц (Fulgoridae), обитающих на горе Као Крачом в таиландской провинции Ратчабури. Впервые для фауны Таиланда приводятся три вида: Pyrops connectens (Atkinson, 1885), Pyrops spinolae (Westwood, 1842) и Zanna nobilis (Westwood, 1838), а два вида рода Dichoptera Spinola, 1839, ранее не указывавшегося из страны, вероятно являются новыми для науки.

All species are from China and belong to five genera: Dichoptera Spinola, 1839 (Dichoptera sp.); Neoalcathous Wang and Huang, 1989 (Neoalcathous huangshanana Wang and Huang, 1989); Limois Stål, 1863 (Limois sp.); Penthicodes Blanchard, 1840 (Penthicodes atomaria (Weber, 1801), Penthicodes caja (Walker, 1851), Penthicodes varie- gata (Guérin-Méneville, 1829)); Pyrops Spinola, 1839 (Pyrops clavatus (Westwood, 1839), Pyrops lathburii Citation: Wang, W.; Zhang, H.; (Kirby, 1818), Pyrops spinolae (Westwood, 1842)). The nine mitogenomes were 15,803 to 16,510 bp Constant, J.; Bartlett, C.R.; Qin, D. in length with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA Characterization, Comparative genes (rRNAs) and a control region (A + T-rich region).
