Mp5g03810	MpPHOT	experimental subject	Marchantia phototropin functionally characterized via knockout, complementation, and LOV2 site-directed mutagenesis (e.g., V594T). The Mp_phot_KO mutant failed the blue-light cold-avoidance response, and the active LOV2 lifetime was ~4-fold longer at 5C (t1/2 ~120 s) than at 22C (~30 s), showing MpPHOT senses temperature via its photoactivated-state lifetime.
