Gene ID Name Evidence / Role Function (this paper)
Mp1g12750 MpARF1 experimental subject The single A-class ARF; Mparf1-kd shows MpARF1-mediated auxin responses antagonize both auxin production and MpARF2 expression in different domains.
Mp4g11820 MpARF2 experimental subject B-class auxin response factor; Mparf2-kd shows MpARF2 is essential for meristem organization in the gametophyte. MpARF2 promotes auxin production by activating the YUCCA gene MpYUC2 in stem cells.
Mp5g06970 MpERF20 experimental comparator Auxin-responsive AP2/ERF marker (Mp5g06970) whose expression marks the stem-cell zone, used to delimit domains.
MpR2DII missing experimental tool Ratiometric auxin degron reporter (proMpEF1:MpIAA-WT-DII:tdTO) used to read out auxin distribution.
Mp8g08780 MpYUC2 experimental background YUCCA auxin-biosynthesis enzyme; identified as a target activated by MpARF2 to drive auxin production in stem cells.
