It is only recently (the first artificial dye was invented in 1857) that the textile industry has turned to synthetic dyes. Today, many craftspeople are rediscovering the joy of achieving colour through the use of renewable, non-toxic, natural sources. Natural dyes are inviting and satisfying to use. Most are familiar substances that will spark creative ideas and widen your view of the world. Try experimenting. Colour can be coaxed from many different sources. Once the cloth or fibre is prepared for dyeing it will soak up the colour, yielding a range of results from deep jew- el-like tones to dusky heathers and pastels. -

EL Art Dyeing with Plants
Dyeing with Plants Authors: Richard Merrill & Susan Barrett Merrill Subjects: Art, Science (chemistry), Language The primary colors are red, yellow and blue. The primary plant dyes that produce these colors are: 1. Red a. Madder, Rubia tinctorum i. Chemical source in the plant: alizarin, purpurin 2. Yellow a. Goldenrod (Solidago species) i. Chemical source in the plant: b. Onion Skins (Allium cepa) i. Chemical source in the plant: 3. Blue a. Indigo (Indigofera tinctoria) i. Chemical source in the plant: indigotin (not soluble in water) b. Woad (Isatis tinctoria) i. Chemical source in the plant: indigotin, but smaller amounts Most natural dyes need a chemical called a mordant to help them bind to the fibers. These are often poisonous metallic salts, such as copper sulfate and potassium dichromate. We avoid these substances because their toxicity makes them dangerous to work with. Color Mordant Dye material Red Alum, Cream of tartar Madder Root Yellow Alum Goldenrod Yellow NONE Onionskin (yellow and red) Blue Yeast, sugar, ammonia, lye Indigo, woad Madder root and indigo are harder to come by. Goldenrod is seasonal in July through September, depending on your location, and requires alum, an aluminum salt, as a mordant. Onionskins are available to us year-round. Do not use blues for classroom work because of the noxious chemicals (ammonia) and dangerous caustic materials (lye). Alum is also toxic, so it is not recommended for classroom use. But there is one safe, fun way to dye naturally – onion skins! Dyeing with Onion Skins Start preparing the class by asking them to save and bring in onion skins from home (the papery part from yellow onions). -

Rubia Tinctorum L.) As a Dye Crop*
Turk J Agric For 30 (2006) 287-293 © TÜB‹TAK Agronomic Potential and Industrial Value of Madder (Rubia tinctorum L.) as a Dye Crop* Hasan BAYDAR**, Tahsin KARADO⁄AN Süleyman Demirel University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops, 32260 Isparta - TURKEY Received: 05.12.2005 Abstract: Madder (Rubia tinctorum L.) is a valuable dye crop due to its roots, which are rich in anthraquinone pigments, one of them being alizarin. This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic potential and industrial value of madder plants under rainfed conditions in Southwest Anatolia, Turkey. Three different propagation materials (seeds, seedlings and root cuttings), and 5 different propagation methods (autumn root transplanting, spring root transplanting, autumn seed sowing, spring seed sowing, and spring seedling transplanting) were used in the study. At the end of the 3-year growing period, fresh root yield varied from 1640.1 kg ha-1 (in the spring root transplanting) to 4813.2 kg ha-1 (in the spring seedling transplanting). As a result, compared to the other methods, spring seedling transplanting had the best performance, producing higher root and dye yields. Of the fresh roots 34.0%- 37.5% was dry matter, represented by dry root yields. Although there was no statistical difference between the propagation methods, the roots from the seedlings gave the highest dye content (2.20%). There was a remarkable variability between 1.98% and 3.70% in the dye content of the roots depending on root positions on the main root and growing stages within a year. It was determined that August was the optimum harvest time for obtaining the highest dry matter and dye matter accumulation. -

Cordifolia is a promising regulator of the spread of breast cancer cells.This research aims to find a solution to conditions such as cancer and multi-drug resistant bacteria that are difficult to treat and fungi by using R.Cordifolia aqueous root extract. Methods used in this inquiry to assess the antimicrobial and anticancer effects of low concentration R. cordifolia aqueous extracts were MTT assay on three cancer cell lines (HepG2, BxPC-3 and MCF-7) and the minimum inhibitory concentration MIC for antimicrobial susceptibility against six microorganisms,three are bacteria (P.aeruginosa (Pseudomonas aeruginosa),E. -
Plants Found in the Middle Parts of the State Grow Here, Excepting the Alpine Flowers
CULTIVATION BOTANY.— Wood grows here [Concord] with great rapidity; and it is supposed there is as much now as there was twenty years ago. Walden woods at the south, and other lots towards the southwest parts of the town, are the most extensive, covering several hundred acres of light-soil land. Much of the fuel, which is consumed, is, however brought from the neighbouring towns. The most common trees are the oak, pine, maple, elm, white birch, chestnut, walnut, &c., &c. Hemlock and spruce are very rare. The ornamental trees transplanted, in this as in most other towns, do not appear to have been placed with much regularity; but as they are, they contribute much to the comfort and beauty of the town. The elm, buttonwood, horse-chestnut, and fruit trees have very properly taken the place of sickly poplars, in ornamenting the dwellings. The large elm in front of the court-house, –the pride of the common,– is almost unrivalled in beauty. It is about “three score and ten,” but is still growing with youthful vigor and uniform rapidity. Dr. Jarvis, who is familiar with the botany of Concord, informs me, that “most of the plants found in the middle parts of the state grow here, excepting the alpine flowers. The extensive low lands produce abundantly the natural families of the aroideæ, typhæ, cyperoideæ, gramineæ, junci, corymbiferæ and unbelliferæ. These genera especially abound. There are also found, the juncus militaris (bayonet rush), on the borders of Fairhaven pond; cornus florida; lobelia carinalis (cardinal flower) abundant on the borders of the river; polygala cruciata, in the east parts of the town; nyssa villosa (swamp hornbeam) at the foot of Fairhaven hill.” The cicuta Americana (hemlock) grows abundant on the intervals. -
Rubiaceae): Evolution of Major Clades, Development of Leaf-Like Whorls, and Biogeography
TAXON 59 (3) • June 2010: 755–771 Soza & Olmstead • Molecular systematics of Rubieae Molecular systematics of tribe Rubieae (Rubiaceae): Evolution of major clades, development of leaf-like whorls, and biogeography Valerie L. Soza & Richard G. Olmstead Department of Biology, University of Washington, Box 355325, Seattle, Washington 98195-5325, U.S.A. Author for correspondence: Valerie L. Soza, [email protected] Abstract Rubieae are centered in temperate regions and characterized by whorls of leaf-like structures on their stems. Previous studies that primarily included Old World taxa identified seven major clades with no resolution between and within clades. In this study, a molecular phylogeny of the tribe, based on three chloroplast regions (rpoB-trnC, trnC-psbM, trnL-trnF-ndhJ) from 126 Old and New World taxa, is estimated using parsimony and Bayesian analyses. Seven major clades are strongly supported within the tribe, confirming previous studies. Relationships within and between these seven major clades are also strongly supported. In addition, the position of Callipeltis, a previously unsampled genus, is identified. The resulting phylogeny is used to examine geographic distribution patterns and evolution of leaf-like whorls in the tribe. An Old World origin of the tribe is inferred from parsimony and likelihood ancestral state reconstructions. At least eight subsequent dispersal events into North America occurred from Old World ancestors. From one of these dispersal events, a radiation into North America, followed by subsequent diversification in South America, occurred. Parsimony and likelihood ancestral state reconstructions infer the ancestral whorl morphology of the tribe as composed of six organs. Whorls composed of four organs are derived from whorls with six or more organs. -
