Gene ID	Name	Evidence / Role	Function (this paper)
Mp3g20100	MpELO2	experimental subject	ELO-like fatty-acid elongase isolated from Marchantia; heterologous yeast expression demonstrated Delta-5-elongase activity elongating C20 PUFAs (20:4, 20:5) toward C22 VLCPUFA.
Mp6g02350	MpELO1	sequence comparator	The previously characterized Delta-6-elongase MpELO1 is used here as the closest comparator: MpELO2 shares 46% identity and a conserved exon-intron structure with it, and is proposed to have arisen by local duplication of MpELO1.
