| Clonal progeny may be produced by stolons, runners, rhizomes, tubers, buds on bulbs, corms and roots, layering of stems, and agamospermous seed. |
| In late spring, the parent plants send out chicks often on long colourful stems called stolons that form dense carpets. |
| Perennial weeds set fewer seeds, but sustain and propagate themselves other ways, with creeping stolons, rhizomes, bulbs or other plant parts. |
| Older studies noted that runners, stolons or prostrate stems of many plants became more erect when shaded. |
| Leaves communicate photoperiodic signals to meristems, stolons and buds in flowering, tuberization and dormancy. |
| The experimental plants were partitioned into roots, petioles, leaves and stolons. |
