    SNA Research Conference Vol. 52 2007 Plant Breeding and Evaluation Tom Ranney Section Editor and Moderator Plant Breeding and Evaluation Section 326 SNA Research Conference Vol. 52 2007 New Callicarpa Species with Breeding Potential Ryan N. Contreras and John M. Ruter University of Georgia, Dept. of Horticulture, Tifton, GA 31793 [email protected] Index Words: beautyberry, species evaluation, ornamental plant breeding Significance to Industry: There is a great deal of available Callicarpa L. germplasm that has yet to be utilized by the nursery industry in the U.S. Taxa currently being evaluated are likely to have potential as breeding material or direct commercial marketability. With new breeding material and selections for introduction the number of beautyberry cultivars for use in southeastern gardens has the potential to expand greatly. Nature of Work: Callicarpa L. is a genus of ~150 species of shrubs and trees distributed throughout the world including warm-temperate and tropical America, SE Asia, Malaysia, Pacific Islands, and Australia (5) with the greatest concentration of species found in SE Asia, specifically the Philippine Islands (1). Of the New World species the highest concentration occurs in Cuba, with ~20 native species (1). There are currently four species commonly found in cultivation in the U.S.: C. americana L., C. bodinieri Lév., C. dichotoma (Lour.)K.Koch, and C. japonica Thunb. with a limited number of varieties or cultivars of each to choose from (3). Beautyberries, desired primarily for their handsome berries produced in fall, have been selected for white-fruiting varieties, finer textured varieties, increased berry production, and variegated foliage.

    Indigo: Sources, processes and possibilities for bioregional blue Nicholas Wenner and Matthew Forkin November 2017 Photo by Kalie Cassel-Feiss by Kalie Photo Table of Contents Introduction . .3 Indigo . .4 The Indigo Process . 11 Conclusions . 15 Photo by Paige Green Green by Paige Photo Indigo Overview 2 Introduction his report was completed with funding generously provided by the Jena and Michael King TFoundation as part of Fibershed’s True Blue project . It is one project of many that support Fibershed’s larger mission: “Fibershed develops regional and regenerative fiber systems on behalf of independent working producers, by expanding opportunities to implement carbon farming, forming catalytic foundations to rebuild regional manufacturing, and through connecting end-users to farms and ranches through public education.” In this report we present the various sources of blue dye and of indigo, and motivate the use of plant-based indigo in particular . We also identify the limitations of natural dyes like indigo and the need for larger cultural and systemic shifts . The ideal indigo dye production system would be a closed-loop system that moves from soil to dye to textiles and back to soil . The indigo process has three basic steps: planting, harvesting, and dye extraction . In this document, we provide an overview of each, and detailed explorations are given in two separate documents that will be available through Fibershed by the end of 2017 . This report is based on a literature review of academic research, natural dye books, online content, and personal interviews . It benefited greatly from conversations with (and the generosity of) many skilled artisans and natural dyers, including Rowland Ricketts, Jane Palmer, and Kori Hargreaves .

Within the considered invasive and may disrupt ecosystem services state, there are almost ten million acres of local, state, and vital to the integrity of Florida natural areas (FLEPPC federal public lands currently managed as natural areas for 2017). Among these, approximately 100 species require conservation.

  • Indigo Recipe.PDF
    Indigo (substantive vat dye) Recipe for a 7 Gallon Indigo vat Supplies needed Indigo (natural or non-synthesized) Thiourea dioxide (Thiox) Lye Synthrapol or other textile detergent Soda ash *Large 7 gallon vat One quart mason jar with lid Wooden sticks for stirring Rubber gloves Scissors *I use a plastic trash can (kitchen sized) for this, measure off 7 gallons and mark it on the side. Choose a trash can with as narrow a top opening as possible. This means less oxygen introduced over time. If you can find one with a close fitting lid, that will work well. If not, a towel clamped over the top will also work. SAFETY CONCERNS: CAUTION! Wear a mask when possible to avoid inhaling lye, thiox or the dye itself!! Keep vats in VERY well-ventilated places! Search the web for MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) information on indigo, thiox and lye. It’s good practice to read and keep MSDS copies (Label a Notebook for this purpose!) on every chemical in use during dyeing. In case of an accident, these sheets help you understand the safety issues and proper disposal methods for chemicals. Please DO read them in advance of working with the chemicals. FLOWCHART for preparation of the stock solution: (Do in advance of using-at least 60 minutes) Prior to dyeing, a stock solution must be made. It may be used right away or stored. In either case, be sure NOT to shake the jar. with hot tap water Use 1.5 Fill a quart jar Dissolve lye. Add Indigo.

B.; LIMA, I. R.; SANTANA, M. A. N.; LEITE, R. M. P. & LEITE, S. P. Indigofera suffruticosa Mill (Fabaceae): hepatic responses in mice bearing sarcoma 180. Int. J. Morphol., 32(4):1228-1233, 2014. SUMMARY: Indigofera suffruticosa is a plant generally used to treat infectious and inflammatory processes. This work aims to evaluate the histopathological changes in the liver tissue of mice with Sarcoma 180 after subchronic treatment with aqueous extract obtained by infusion and maceration of Indigofera suffruticosa leaves. Male mice were divided into four groups of six animals: G1, G2 and G3 patients with Sarcoma 180 and Sarcoma 180 G4 without sarcoma. G1 and G2 were treated with infusion mashing respectively (50 mg/kg ip); G3 and G4 controls received saline (15 ml/kg ip). The histopathological and morphometric analysis of liver tissue after subchronic treatment with aqueous extracts by infusion and maceration of the groups G1, G2 and G4 were similar and showed no degraded areas or leukocyte infiltration compared to G3, which shows a marked destruction of liver architecture. The results showed that after subchronic treatment with the aqueous extract of leaves Indigofera Suffruticosa obtained by infusion and maceration, the hepatic architecture was preserved, suggesting its use as an alternative hepatoprotective agent.
