Gene ID	Name	Evidence / Role	Function (this paper)
Mp3g17930	MpRSL1	experimental subject	RSL class I bHLH transcription factor; loss-of-function mutants failed to make rhizoids, slime/mucilage papillae and gemmae, while gain-of-function lines produced ectopic rhizoids, and complementation restored development. Expressed in rhizoids, gemmae and ventral thallus, highest in cells expanding out of the epidermis; can replace AtRHD6 in Arabidopsis, showing conserved control of epidermal structures.
—	MpACT missing	experimental tool	Used as an internal control gene for semi-quantitative RT-PCR of MpRSL1 in laser-captured gemma primordium cells.
—	MpCUL missing	experimental tool	Used as a reference gene (with MpEF1, geometric-mean normalization) for qRT-PCR quantification of MpRSL1 expression.
Mp3g23400	MpEF1	experimental tool	Used as a reference/internal control gene for normalization in RT-PCR and qRT-PCR of MpRSL1 transcripts.
—	MpRSL2	sequence background	Identified and deposited as a sequence (GenBank KT633828) alongside MpRSL1; no functional analysis in this paper.
