This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. First Semester students of Botany for all Maharashtra State Universities and Colleges under the recommended National Education Policy 2020. It comprehensively covers the theoretical and practical aspect of the papers, namely, Microorganisms-Viruses, Prokaryotes, Algae and Fungi and Paleobotany, Bryophyta and Pteridophyta. The theory part of paper 1 introduces the students to acquire conceptual knowledge of diversity, life forms, life cycles, morphology and importance of microorganisms. It also discusses the classification, characteristic features, cell structure, growth and reproduction in viruses, bacteria and their economic importance. Paper 2 introduces the students to develop an understanding of morphology, anatomy and reproduction of Bryophyta and Pteridophytes. The book will help the students understand the concept and importance of palaeobotany and types of fossils. Relevant experiments corresponding to the theoretical topics and examples have been presented systematically to help students achieve sound conceptual understanding and learn experimental procedures.

  • Relevant and well-labelled diagrams have been provided for easy understanding of the concepts
  • Engaging unit-end exercises have been provided for practice
  • Collection of experiments to stimulate interest and aid in learning and memorizing the practical aspect of the subject
