M.Sc. (Botany)

M.Sc. (Botany) is the scientific study of plants, or multicellular organisms, that carry on photosynthesis. Botanists examine both the internal functions and processes within plant organelles, cells, tissues, whole plants, plant populations and plant communities. At each of these levels, a botanist may be concerned with the classification of plant life. Modern botany is a broad, multidisciplinary subject with inputs from most other areas of science and technology. Various Research topics in the field of Botany cover a wide range of Scientific disciplines that include the study of Plant sctructure, Growth and Differentiation, Reproduction, Metabolism, Biochmistry, Diseases, Systematics & Plant taxonomy, Ecology, Chemical properties and Evolutionary relationships between different groups. Dominant themes in 21st century plant science are Molecular genetics and Epigenetics, which are the mechanisms and control of gene expression during differentiation of plant cells and tissues. The study of plants is important because they are primary producers and a fundamental part of life on earth, generating food, oxygen, fuel, medicine and fibers that allow other life forms to exist.
