stolon A branch (PO:0025073) that is prostrate or trailing, and produces adventitious nodal roots (PO:0003005) and sometimes erect shoots. PO:0003024 PO_GIT:388 The stolon develops from an axillary bud (PO:0004709) and produces adventitious roots (PO:0003005) at the nodes and a terminal aerial stem. That stem then sends out one or more stolons from its axillary buds and the process is reiterated. Stolons may be above ground, as with strawberries, or below ground as in potatoes. estol&#243n (Spanish, exact) plant_anatomy runner (related) ストロン、ほふく茎 (Japanese, exact) branch
