Gene ID	Name	Evidence / Role	Function (this paper)
Mp6g18180	MpMET	experimental subject	METHYLTRANSFERASE1 (MET1) ortholog maintaining CG DNA methylation; Mpmet loss-of-function disorganizes cell division and reveals non-CG methylation regulation in this basal land plant.
Mp1g00340	MpDRMa	experimental comparator	Domains-rearranged methyltransferase (non-CG methylation); slightly increased in Mpmet.
—	MpMET1 missing	experimental background	MpMET1 CG methyltransferase; loss causes disorganized cell division (adventitious shoot-like structures)
Mp8g08780	MpYUC2	experimental background	Auxin biosynthesis gene down-regulated in Mpmet mutant (DEG).
