<p dir="ltr">The data in this collection comprise gene annotations for Apios americana and Apios priceana. Annotations were carried out using the BRAKER3 pipeline (Gabriel et al., 2024). Apios americana produces starchy, high-protein tubers that were used by indigenous Native Americans. Apios americana is found throughout eastern and central North America, from Louisiana in the south to Quebec in the north. Apios priceana is a rare legume species, found scattered locations in the North American Southeast (Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Tennessee). The plant is federally listed as a threatened species. It has a vining habit and produces an edible, thickened storage root.</p>
The data in this collection represent gene annotations for the species Apios americana and Apios priceana. The intended use is for research in plant biology and evolutionary biology.
