Gene ID	Name	Evidence / Role	Function (this paper)
—	MpBGLU2 missing	experimental subject	beta-glucosidase shown in vitro and in vivo to hydrolyze LA-4'-O-glucoside back to lunularic acid, contributing to reversible LA homeostasis; interacts with MpUGT744A1 to ensure efficient metabolic flux.
—	MpBGLU3 missing	experimental subject	beta-glucosidase characterized in vitro and in vivo as hydrolyzing LA-4'-O-glucoside to lunularic acid, contributing to reversible Glc-conjugation/hydrolysis buffering diurnal LA levels.
—	MpUGT744A1 missing	experimental subject	Glucosyltransferase functionally characterized in vitro and in vivo as catalyzing Glc-conjugation of lunularic acid (LA) to LA-4'-O-glucoside; with MpBGLU2/3 drives reversible LA<->LA-GE conversion underlying diurnal LA homeostasis; physically interacts with MpBGLU2 for efficient metabolic flux.
—	MpBGLU1 missing	sequence comparator	BGLU family member identified in the genome-wide MpBGLU survey; shares ~41% identity with MpBGLU2/3; not the functional focus of the paper.
