Gene ID	Name	Evidence / Role	Function (this paper)
Mp3g14360	MpFKF	experimental subject	FLAVIN-BINDING KELCH REPEAT F-BOX1 (FKF1) ortholog forming a complex with MpGI; knockout abolished and overexpression promoted the photoperiodic growth-phase transition, indicating the GI-FKF1 module predates land-plant divergence.
Mp1g13750	MpGI	experimental subject	GIGANTEA ortholog; knockout abolished the long-day-dependent vegetative-to-reproductive growth-phase transition and overexpression promoted it even under short days. The Marchantia GI also partially rescued the Arabidopsis gi late-flowering phenotype.
Mp3g23400	MpEF1	experimental tool	Used as a molecular tool: the MpEF (ELONGATION FACTOR 1-alpha) promoter drove the MpGI/MpFKF overexpression constructs, and MpEF served as the constitutive reference gene for qRT-PCR normalization.
