DU Postgraduate Distance Learning Courses

Students will be able to understand and explain different specializations of Botany such as
systematics, evolution, ecology, developmental biology, physiology, biochemistry, plant
interactions with microbes and insects, morphology, anatomy, reproduction, genetics, cell and
molecular biology of plants.
2. Students will be trained in various analytical techniques of plant biology, use of plants as
industrial resources or as a support system for human livelihood and will be well versed with the
use of transgenic technologies for both basic and applied research in plants.
3. Students will be able to identify various life forms of plants, design and execute experiments
related to basic studies on evolution, ecology, developmental biology, physiology, biochemistry,
plant interactions with microbes and insects, morphology, anatomy, reproduction, genetics,
microbiology, molecular biology, recombinant DNA technology, transgenic technology.
Students are also familiarized with the use of bioinformatics tools and databases and in the
application of statistics to biological data.
4 Students will acquire core competency in the subject of Botany and in allied subject areas. They
will be able to use the evidence-based comparative studies approach to explaining the evolution of
organism and understand the genetic diversity and its significance.
5. The students will be able to explain various physiological and metabolic processes unique to
plants. They would be able to elaborate on the concepts of gene, genome, and the molecular
processes of replication, transcription, and translation.
6. They will be able to understand the adaptation, development, and behavior of different forms of
life. The students will get an understanding of the functioning of the ecosystem and tracing the energy
pyramids through nutrient flow.
7. Students will be able to demonstrate the experimental techniques and methods in plant
sciences and have innovative research ideas.
