Gene ID	Name	Evidence / Role	Function (this paper)
—	MpTAR missing	citation comparator	Cited from Marchantia work as a cross-species comparator; MpTAR overexpression lines showed IAA-like morphological changes, contextualizing the conserved IPyA auxin biosynthesis pathway in bryophytes.
—	MpYUC missing	citation comparator	Cited from Marchantia work as a cross-species comparator; overexpression of the M. polymorpha YUC homolog elevated IAA and caused IAA-like morphology, supporting conservation of auxin biosynthesis across early land plants.
