Patulin is an organic compound classified as a polyketide. It is a lactone that is heat-stable, so it is not destroyed by pasteurization or thermal denaturation. It is a mycotoxin produced by a variety of molds, in particular, Aspergillus and Penicillium and Byssochlamys. Most commonly found in rotting apples, the amount of patulin in apple products is generally viewed as a measure of the quality of the apples used in production. In addition, patulin has been found in other foods such as grains, fruits, and vegetables. Its presence is highly regulated. (Wikipedia, 2024. Patulin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patulin)

Reaction wood is the characteristic wood formed as part of the gravitropic response of trees and shrubs, and generally occurs in leaning stems including branches. In conifers, reaction wood is known as compression wood while in hardwoods it is known as tension wood. (Lloyd, Donaldson., Adya, P., Singh. (2016). Chapter 6 – Reaction Wood. 93-110. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-12-802185-9.00006-1)
Note
Wood with more or less distinctive anatomical characters, formed typically in parts of leaning or crooked stems and in branches

Self-sterility: the name for several mechanisms used by hermaphrodite plants to prevent pollen grains from fertilising the same individual (self-fertilisation or autogamy), thus encouraging the exchange of genetic materials among different plants (outcrossing or allogamy).
