How long can tardigrades survive in the anhydrobiotic state? A search for tardigrade anhydrobiosis patterns. by Milena Roszkowska, Bartłomiej Gołdyn, Daria Wojciechowska, Zofia Księżkiewicz, Edyta Fiałkowska, Mateusz Pluskota, Hanna Kmita, Łukasz Kaczmarek

“…Additionally, in the case of Ech. testudo, we analyzed two populations: one urban and one from a natural habitat. The observed tardigrade species displayed clear differences in their anhydrobiotic capacity, which appear to be determined by the habitat rather than nutritional behavior of species sharing the same habitat type. …”

Comparative analysis of petal phytoconstituents reveals insights into the characteristics of an under-reported edible old rose variety native to Chongqing, China by Chan Xu, Yuan Chen, Zongli Hu, Qiaoli Xie, Hang Guo, Shibing Tian, Guoping Chen

“…Additionally, this plant was rich in aromatic compounds and terpenoids such as 2-phenylethanol, linalool, geraniol, and caryophyllene α-oxide, indicating that it has a natural basis for extracting essential oil. Moreover, the presence of some active phytoconstituents, such as phenols, steroids, and alkaloids, also suggests its potential for edible and medicinal applications besides flavonoids and terpenoids.…”
