Figure 8 Reconstruction of the biosynthetic pathway leading to monoterpenes in Archegozetes longisetosus. a – Representative gas chro- matogram of the mite′ gland content; in order of retention time: 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-benzaldehyde (2,6-HMBD), neral (( Z)-3,7-dimethylocta- 2,6-dienal) neryl formate (( Z)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl formate), tridecane, 3-hydroxybenzene-1,2-dicarbaldehyde (γ-acaridial). Further alkanes/alkenes (pentadec-7-ene, pentadecane, heptadeca-6,9-diene, heptadec-8-ene, heptadecane) are not shown. Monoterpenes are marked
