SEP3 notes

2026-10-05 — follow-up edits (floral_organ_identity_abce module)

• Seed coat development IMP (PMID:32519347): UNDECIDED → KEEP_AS_NON_CORE. The abstract reports reverse-genetic sep3 knockout seed-longevity phenotypes and attributes them to the seed coat PMID:32519347. The curator's acts_upstream_of_or_within qualifier already allows an indirect role.
• Mucilage extrusion (same paper) stays UNDECIDED. The abstract does not mention mucilage and the full text is not cached.
• Follow-up (orchestrator request): mucilage extrusion IMP (PMID:32519347) changed UNDECIDED → KEEP_AS_NON_CORE. Europe PMC REST reports no PMCID (not open access, not in EPMC). The Wiley full text is not accessible, so the evidence was not seen. The abstract shows the study phenotyped seed-coat traits of the knockouts and implicates SEP3 in seed-coat protection, so the curator's annotation is plausible and I defer to it per CLAUDE.md.
