Stolon
Definition:
(n.) A trailing branch which is disposed to take root at the end or at the joints; a stole.
(n.) An extension of the integument of the body, or of the body wall, from which buds are developed, giving rise to new zooids, and thus forming a compound animal in which the zooids usually remain united by the stolons. Such stolons are often present in Anthozoa, Hydroidea, Bryozoa, and social ascidians. See Illust. under Scyphistoma.
Example Sentences:
(1) If the compounds are applied in a pulse during metamorphosis, a large part of the available tissue forms stolons.

(3) When whole animals are exposed to SIF, stolons sprout not only from the base of the polyps but also from abnormal sites along the entire body, even from the head.
(4) Selected recombinants have been used to demonstrate that phosphorylase mRNA is most abundant in tubers but is also detectable in stolon, root, stem and leaf tissue.
(5) A cDNA clone (pPCM-1) for plant calmodulin was isolated by screening a potato stolon tip cDNA library with a chicken calmodulin cDNA.
