| Gene ID | Name | Evidence / Role | Function (this paper) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mp1g24140 | MpC3HDZ | experimental subject | Class III HD-Zip transcription factor forming a regulatory circuit with miR166. The miR166/C3HDZ module controls auxin synthesis and thereby cell identity, patterning and body plan, a role inferred to be ancestral to land plants. |
| Mp7g12090 | MpDCL1a | experimental subject | DICER-LIKE 1 required for miRNA biogenesis in M. polymorpha, characterised through CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function mutants. Loss of MpDCL1a disrupts cell identity, patterning, meristem function and laminar expansion, indicating that DCL1-dependent miRNA control of development predates the bryophyte/tracheophyte split. |
