Scope of Biochemistry

By -

Neuberg introduced the term biochemistry in 1903.

The early part of 20th century witnessed a 
sudden outburst of knowledge in chemical analysis, separation methods, electronic
instrumentation for biological studies (X-ray diffraction, electron microscope, etc) which
ultimately resulted in understanding the structure and function of several key molecules involved
in life processes such as proteins, enzymes, DNA and RNA.

Scope of Biochemistry 

1) To evaluate ( मूल्यांकन करना )  nutritive value of cereals, pulses, oilseed, fruits and vegetable.

2) Formulation of balanced diet.

3) Removal and inactivation of toxic or anti nutritional factors present in food grains in general and grain
legumes in particular by breeding and chemical treatments. e.g. ODAP in Keshari dal, Trypsin inhibitors.

4) Development and exploitation of better genotypes.
 
5) Food preservation and processing technology and post-harvest physiology of fruit crops and vegetables and their nutritional quality.

6) Biochemistry of disease and pest resistance.

7) Biochemistry of drought resistance, proline and hydroxyproline imparts drought resistance to Jowar.

8) Use of nonconventional sources of protein foods (NCAP) sources are animal feed resources that are not traditionally used to formulate feed for the livestock. These feed resources include earthworms, locusts, termites, maggots, caterpillars, cockroaches and snails., single cell proteins, fish protein concentrates, mushrooms and leaf proteins.

9) Developments in the field of inter mediatory metabolism i.e. synthesis and degradation of constituents 
of living tissues.

Botrytis cineria  SECTION-B  2 A Write the symptom of loose smut and ergot of wheat. A - Loose smut and ergot are two distinct diseases affecting wheat, each caused by different pathogens and exhibiting unique symptoms. ### Loose Smut of Wheat **Pathogen:** *Ustilago tritici* **Symptoms:** 1. **Early Appearance:** Symptoms are noticeable at the time of heading. 2. **Smutty Spikes:** Infected spikes (ears) emerge from the boot earlier than healthy ones. The entire spike, including the grains, is replaced by a black, powdery mass of smut spores. 3. **Powdery Mass:** The black spores are easily dispersed by wind, leaving only the bare rachis (central

   Here are the filled blanks for the questions you provided: Causal organism of  powdery mildew of mango :  Oidium mangiferae Causal organism of  leaf spot of rose :  Diplocarpon rosae Causal organism of  rust of wheat :  Puccinia triticina Name of bacterial disease:  Fire blight SECTION-B  A Write the disease symptom of red rot. B Define fungi Fungi are a diverse group of organisms belonging to the kingdom Fungi, which includes about 144,000 known species. They encompass various organisms such as yeasts, mildews, molds, and mushrooms. Fungi are eukaryotic, meaning they have cells with a nucleus enclosed within membranes. They reproduce through spores and often have a rigid cell wall made of chitin. The scientific study of fungi is known as mycology. C Draw the disease cycle of potato. D. Mention the symptoms of black rust Black rust is a plant disease that affects crops like wheat. The symptoms of black rust include: 1. Reddish-brown pustules on the wheat stem that turn black as they
