Gene ID	Name	Evidence / Role	Function (this paper)
Mp5g03810	MpPHOT	experimental subject	Phototropin studied as the primary subject via Citrine/Dendra2 fusions and mutant analysis (LOV C328A/C628A, kinase-dead D922N). Mpphot relocated from cytosol/plasma membrane to the chloroplast periphery during gemma-to-gemmaling transition, correlating with onset of chloroplast movement; blue-light reception and kinase activity were required for this peripheral localization.
—	MpNCH missing	experimental background	Mentioned in Discussion as a plasma membrane protein essential for the chloroplast accumulation response in M. polymorpha.
