“…Tests for various ergastic substances; fats and oils, protein, tannins, inulin and starch were analyzed according to Gill et al (1991) and Idu and Onyibe (2011). Starch granule characteristics; granule shape, granule size, hilium striations and hilium size were recorded to the nearest decimal (0.00 µm).…”

The chemotaxonomic significance of ergastic substances that are aligned systematically to the Amaranthaceae-Chenopodiaceae group and their prospective applications, such as the use of its starch for food, health and industrial uses, were assessed in the present study employing species from four genera: Amaranthus (Amaranthaceae), Chenopodium, Atriplex and Suaeda (Chenopodiaceae). Alkaloids, fats, oils, inulin, protein and starch profiles of the taxa studied generated three groups using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and four clusters using Cluster Analysis (CA). The resultant groups and clusters showed the species did not segregate across traditional lines but aligned with taxa outside genus and family borders. The species Chenopodium botrys and Chenopodium polyspermum were most divergent, constituting a separate group and clusters. The majority of the species segregated as a primary group/cluster, showing close affinities between members of both families; hence, the Amaranthaceae-Chenopodiaceae group can be regarded as a mono-paraphyletic group. Alkaloids were recorded only in Chenopodiaceae taxa and betalains only in Amaranthaceae which presupposes that taxonomic relevant ergastic substances demarcation lines may exist to delimit the families. In addition, these ergastics substances showcase the taxa potential food, health and industrial applications. The Amaranthaceae-Chenopodiaceae starch granule is small in size (0.7-5.4 µm), circular in shape (poorly irregular) and lacks hilium and striations. The small-size granule will be invaluable for a number of prospective food and health uses, principally for low glycemic load foods for diabetics, as well as numerous industrial uses, such as producing environmentally friendly biodegradable plastics as alternatives to petrochemicals.

“…In the literature on ergastic substances, it is seen that researches are carried out in the fields of biotechnology (Idu & Onyibe, 2011;Kolovrat, 2016), botany (Gill, Nyawuame, Aibangbee & Agho, 1991;Nwachukwu & Edeoga, 2006;Omonhinmin, Daramola & Idu, 2015;Scott, 1941) and medicine (Nayagam, 2015;Simon & Nayyagam, 2018). However, no studies on the subject were reached in the field of education.…”

The aim of this study was investigated of prospective science teachers’ understandings on ergastic substances with the semantic mappings. This study was phenomenological research method. 38 prospective science teachers in the science teaching department of a public university participated in the research. The prospective science teachers were asked to prepare the semantic mappings about Ergastic Substances. In this study, student products are 36 semantic mappings prepared by the prospective science teachers. The semantic mappings were analyzed content analysis method. According to the findings obtained from the research, it can be said that in the semantic mapping, the prospective science teachers used most of concepts related to Ergastic Substances in the experiments. Additionally, it can be said that conducting experiments and preparing the semantic mappings have important contributions to the teaching, researching and associating of concepts. In order to eliminate the difficulties, intervals applications at different times will contribute to the literature instead of one-off applications. According to the results of 36 semantic mapping prepared by the prospective science teachers, a semantic mapping containing 6 groups and 140 concepts was formed.
