    (Pleosporales),
    9. Subdivition: Basidiomycotina, class: Teliomycetes (Uredinales, Ustilaginales) class:
    Hymenomycetes (Aphyllophorales)
    10. Subdivition: Deuteromycotina: class: Coelomycetes (Sphaeropsidales), class: Hyphomycetes
    (Hyphomycetales, Agonomycetales).
    11. Prokaryotes: classification of prokaryotes according to Bergey’s Manual of Systematic
    Bacteriology. General characteristics of bacteria and examples of phytopathogenic bacteria,
    fastidious vesicular bacteria, phytoplasmas and spiroplasmas.

    14. Definition and objectives of Plant Pathology. History of Plant Pathology.
    15. Terms and concepts in Plant Pathology. Survival and Dispersal of Plant Pathogens.
    16. Phenomenon of infection – pre-penetration, penetration and post penetration.
    17. Pathogenesis – Role of enzymes, toxins, growth regulators and polysaccharides.
    18. Defense mechanism in plants – Structural and Bio-chemical (pre and post-infection).
    19. Plant disease epidemiology – Meaning and importance, difference between simple and
    compound interest diseases – Factors affecting plant disease epidemics – host, pathogen,
    environment and time factor.
