Objective Biochemistry And Biotechnology

by Virupaksh U. Patil, Amarjit K. Nath

Overview

The Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) has grouped Plant biochemistry, Plant physiology and Agriculture biotechnology under Plant Science A for conducting the all India exams. This book is second in the series of practice books containing Plant physiology and Plant biochemistry as our previous book covered Plant biochemistry and Agriculture biotechnology. Passing competitive exams is necessary for obtaining higher studies, scholarships and career in research as well as teaching. This book contains more than 2,000 questions from both Plant physiology and Biochemistry covering almost every aspect of the subject. The questions have been designed keeping in view of the new syllabus for the students. Features: Efforts have been made to cover all the topics in both Plant physiology and Biochemistry for designing more than 2,000 multiple choice questions. The biochemistry section of the book covers more of plant biochemistry rather than general biochemistry. The questions have been designed keeping in view the requirements of the graduate, post graduate students, teachers and research scientists as per the latest updations of the 5th Deans' Committee Recommendations. This practice book also includes maximum possible questions from the previous question papers, which have appeared directly or indirectly in tests like ICAR JRF/SRF/NET.
