Gene ID	Name	Evidence / Role	Function (this paper)
Mp8g13070	MpABCG1	citation background	ABCG transporter cited as mediating accumulation of sesquiterpenes in oil bodies, compounds contributing to herbivore resistance. The study itself shows that oil body cell spacing in fossil and extant liverworts follows a local-activation/lateral-inhibition mechanism.
Mp3g02320	MpC1HDZ	citation background	Class I HD-Zip transcription factor cited as an activator of oil body cell specification, whose loss-of-function mutants lack oil body cells altogether. The study itself shows that oil body cell spacing in fossil and extant liverworts follows a local-activation/lateral-inhibition mechanism.
Mp6g08690	MpERF13	citation background	AP2/ERF transcription factor cited as a master activator of oil body cell specification, whose loss-of-function mutants lack oil body cells altogether. The study itself shows that oil body cell spacing in fossil and extant liverworts follows a local-activation/lateral-inhibition mechanism.
Mp3g07510	MpMYB02	citation background	R2R3-MYB (MYB02) cited as an activator of oil body cell specification; it is also among the genes controlled by MpNPR through MpERF13. The study itself shows that oil body cell spacing in fossil and extant liverworts follows a local-activation/lateral-inhibition mechanism.
Mp1g02380	MpNPR	citation background	Immune regulator cited as controlling MpSYP12B, MpMYB02 and MpABCG1 expression through its interaction with MpERF13. The study itself shows that oil body cell spacing in fossil and extant liverworts follows a local-activation/lateral-inhibition mechanism.
Mp4g20670	MpSYP12B	citation background	Oil-body-associated syntaxin cited among the genes controlled by MpNPR through MpERF13. The study itself shows that oil body cell spacing in fossil and extant liverworts follows a local-activation/lateral-inhibition mechanism.
