Part 1: Core Mycology (Fungal Biology)

General Fundamentals: Structural organization of fungal thallus, cell wall biochemistry (chitin composition), and nutritional absorption mechanisms.
Systematic Classification: Evolutionary taxomony spanning major fungal groups including Chytridiomycetes, Oomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota.
Life Cycles & Dynamics: In-depth fungal life histories, sexual vs. asexual spore structures, heterokaryosis, and parasexuality.
Symbiotic Associations: Structural organization of lichens (phycobiont-mycobiont nature) along with Ectomycorrhizae and Endomycorrhizae root dynamics.
Applied & Industrial Mycology: Fungal fermentation, industrial enzymes, secondary metabolite/antibiotic production, and toxic fungal bi-products (mycotoxins).

Part 2: Plant Pathology (Phytopathology)

Principles of Disease: Core concepts of host-pathogen interactions, defense mechanisms, disease epidemiology, and plant quarantine protocols.
Fungal Plant Diseases: Etiology and complete disease cycles of major agricultural threats like Black Stem Rust of Wheat (Puccinia), Early Blight of Potato, and White Rust of Crucifers.
Bacterial and Viral Pathogens: Detailed studies of prominent non-fungal infections including Citrus Canker, Angular Leaf Spot of Cotton, and Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV).
