JNVU Msc Botany

I have completed B.Sc degree and now interested in doing the M.Sc in Botany from the Jai Narain Vyas University so please give me some details about the course structure of it? Also tell me about the admission procedure of M.Sc course in the Jai Narain Vyas University?

Can you provide me the syllabus/course structure of the M.Sc. Botany SFS Program offered by JNVU (Jai Narain Vyas University) Jodhpur?

Bioenergetics Cell wall Cell membrane: Dynamic structure, compositions, function, biogenesis and structural model. Plant Vacuoles: Tonoplast membrane, function as storage and transport Cytoskeleton, organization and role of microtubules, microfilaments and associated motor proteins Cell junction and adhesions, Intercellular transport of endogenous macromolecules: Structure and functional significance of plasmodesmata.

Unit II
The nucleus: Nuclear envelope, nuclear pore complex, nucleolus. Mitochondrial and plastid biogenesis and development, concept of endosymbiosis Organellar genome: organization and function of plastome and chondriome. Cell cycle regulation (Cyclins, CDKs), Senescence and Programmed Cell Death

Unit III
Protein Sorting and Vesicle Traffic; concept of signal peptide, transport of soluble and membrane bound proteins in Endoplasmic Reticulum, ER chaperone proteins and their functions. Targeting to nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, vacuoles and secretory pathway Replication of genetic material in prokaryotes and eukaryotes: initiation, elongation and termination

Unit IV
