Examples of stolon in the following topics:
-
- Stolons are stems that run almost parallel to the ground, or just below the surface, and can give rise to new plants at the nodes.
- Runners are a type of stolon that runs above the ground and produces new clone plants at nodes at varying intervals: strawberries are an example.
- Tubers arise as swollen ends of stolons, and contain many adventitious or unusual buds (familiar to us as the "eyes" on potatoes).
- Shown are (a) ginger (Zingiber officinale) rhizomes, (b) a carrion flower (Amorphophallus titanum) corm (c) Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) stolons, (d) strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) runners, (e) potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers, and (f) red onion (Allium) bulbs.

- (e) Strawberry plants form stolons: stems that grow at the soil surface or just below ground and can give rise to new plants
