Gene ID Name Evidence / Role Function (this paper)
Mp5g12010 MpCOP1 experimental subject E3 ubiquitin ligase; Mpcop1 mutants show a strong constitutive photomorphogenesis phenotype. COP1 function is much more independent of SPA in Marchantia than in Arabidopsis, and MpHY5 functions antagonistically to MpCOP1.
Mp1g16800
MpHY5 paper
MpBZIP1 nomenclature
experimental subject Transcriptional regulator that functions antagonistically to MpCOP1, similar to Arabidopsis HY5/HYH, but with a more limited role in UV-B-mediated gene expression changes in Marchantia.
Mp2g18040
MpRUP1 paper
MpRUP nomenclature
experimental subject WD40-repeat protein, a key component of M. polymorpha UV-B signaling studied as part of the conserved core UVR8 photocycle.
MpSPA missing experimental subject SPA component of the COP1/SPA complex; Mpspa mutants develop only a very weak constitutive photomorphogenesis phenotype but show enhanced UV-B acclimation and UV stress tolerance, indicating MpSPA is a negative regulator of MpUVR8 signaling.
Mp2g11590 MpUVR8 experimental subject UV-B photoreceptor of M. polymorpha; the paper shows the core UVR8 photocycle is well conserved. MpSPA acts as a negative regulator of MpUVR8 signaling, with Mpspa showing enhanced UV-B acclimation and UV stress tolerance.
