Architecture of a strawberry plant. (A) for a once flowering genotype, in which axillary meristems will develop into runners or branch crowns and (B) for a perpetual flowering genotype, in which axillary meristems will develop into new inflorescences. The color of inflorescence reflects its stage: purple when already harvested, red when fruits are mature, dark orange when fruits are developing, light orange or yellow when inflorescence newly emerged, and gray when inflorescence will likely not emerged. Small green dot represents axillary latent meristem observed in perpetual flowering genotypes.
