|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | Dreni, *Molecular Plant* | https://doi.org/10.1093/mp/sst019 | Review | Places OsMADS3 in the rice AGAMOUS/class C MADS-box lineage; summarizes that OsMADS3 is preferentially involved in stamen identity, acts redundantly with OsMADS58 in reproductive organ identity and floral meristem determinacy, is expressed in floral meristem cells fated for stamens, and later in tapetum/microspores; reports direct regulation of **MT-1-4b** linked to ROS homeostasis in late anther development (pqac-00000009, pqac-00000016) | Anther-stage expression summarized for stages **9–12** in tapetum/microspores; no p-values or fold-changes in accessible excerpt (pqac-00000009, pqac-00000016) | Secondary synthesis rather than the original experimental report for MT-1-4b/ROS; useful high-authority overview but limited raw statistics in excerpt (pqac-00000009, pqac-00000016) |
| 2019 | Sugiyama, *Plant & Cell Physiology* | https://doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pcz020 | Review with primary mutant analysis | Reassesses rice carpel specification; concludes OsMADS3/OsMADS58 are important for **stamen specification** and **floral meristem determinacy**, but not the primary determinants of carpel specification in rice because carpel-like organs still form in the double mutant and express **DL**; supports a model where class C genes elaborate carpel morphology rather than specify carpels (pqac-00000014, pqac-00000015, pqac-00000021) | No explicit numeric penetrance in accessible excerpt; visual evidence includes double-mutant flowers with persistent meristem and carpel-like organs (pqac-00000021) | Important because it challenges earlier stronger class-C-centric carpel models; quantitative details are sparse in retrieved text (pqac-00000014, pqac-00000015) |
| 2020 | Dreni, *Frontiers in Plant Science* | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2020.00637 | Primary | Demonstrates that OsMADS3 undergoes alternative splicing to generate two isoforms differing by a single **S109** residue in the K domain; only the isoform **lacking S109** showed stronger AG-like activity in *Arabidopsis ag* complementation; supports isoform-dependent functional divergence and altered SEP interactions (pqac-00000017, pqac-00000018) | RNA-seq survey found about **39%** of OsMADS3 transcripts carry the 3-nt deletion, with tissue range about **29–47%**; both isoforms present in young/mature panicles, stamens, ovaries, and stigmas (pqac-00000018) | Strongest quantitative source retrieved for OsMADS3; functional assay was partly heterologous (*Arabidopsis*), so direct in-rice isoform effects remain to be fully resolved (pqac-00000017, pqac-00000018) |
| 2017 | Ravasio, doctoral thesis | https://doi.org/10.13130/ravasio-andrea_phd2017-11-06 | Thesis | Identifies OsMADS3 as the rice AG ortholog/class C gene; reports two isoforms (**OsMADS3S109** and **OsMADS3ΔS109**) differing by one serine in the K-box; summarizes that OsMADS3 is especially important for **stamen development**, while OsMADS3 and OsMADS58 together control reproductive organ identity and floral meristem determinacy; notes complex formation with SEP proteins and severe seed/fertility defects in higher-order AG-subfamily mutants (pqac-00000001, pqac-00000004, pqac-00000006, pqac-00000028) | Public RNA-seq summary indicates about **39%** deletion-containing transcripts; no formal statistical tests visible in excerpt (pqac-00000006) | Valuable for mechanistic detail and synthesis, but not a peer-reviewed primary journal article; some findings later published in 2020 (pqac-00000004, pqac-00000006) |
| 2014 | Pilatone, doctoral thesis | https://doi.org/10.13130/pilatone-alessandro_phd2014-01-24 | Thesis | Summarizes genetic evidence that OsMADS3 is a rice class C gene involved in **stamen identity**, **carpel identity/reproductive organ specification** together with OsMADS58, and **floral meristem determinacy**; also states that OsMADS3 directly binds the **MT-1-4b** promoter and regulates ROS homeostasis during late anther development (pqac-00000000, pqac-00000019) | No explicit fold-change or ROS values in accessible excerpt (pqac-00000019) | Useful bridge to otherwise inaccessible primary papers, but not itself the original source for the ROS-binding experiments (pqac-00000019) |
| 2016 | Xie, *Scientific Reports* | https://doi.org/10.1038/srep21030 | Primary methods paper | Uses **MADS3** as a demonstration case for a CAPS-based protein–DNA binding assay, validating binding to a **CArG-box-containing MT-1-4b promoter** fragment; supports direct DNA-binding capability relevant to the OsMADS3→MT-1-4b regulatory model (pqac-00000019) | Semi-quantitative assay framework described, but no OsMADS3 biological phenotype statistics extracted here (pqac-00000019) | Primarily a methods paper; supports promoter-binding evidence rather than whole-plant function by itself (pqac-00000019) |
| 2016 | Yi, *Plant Physiology* | https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.15.01561 | Primary | Not an OsMADS3 paper, but independently cites the established model that mutations in OsMADS3 reduce **MT-1-4b** expression and cause elevated ROS in anthers, embedding OsMADS3 within broader tapetal ROS-regulatory networks (pqac-00000020) | No OsMADS3-specific numeric values in accessible excerpt (pqac-00000020) | Indirect support only; relies on prior OsMADS3 literature for the core claim (pqac-00000020) |
| 2022 | Xie, *Antioxidants* | https://doi.org/10.3390/antiox11020287 | Review | Reviews redox control of pollen development and states that **OsMADS3 directly up-regulates MT-1-4b** to modulate ROS levels during rice anther development, reinforcing OsMADS3 as a transcriptional link between floral identity genes and redox homeostasis (pqac-00000019) | No new OsMADS3-specific numbers in excerpt (pqac-00000019) | Useful recent synthesis, but mainly reiterates Hu et al. 2011-type findings rather than providing new experiments (pqac-00000019) |
| 2024 | Li, *bioRxiv* | https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.03.04.583394 | Preprint | Discusses tapetal ROS regulation and cites OsMADS3–**MT-1-4b** as an established regulatory module during late anther development, showing that OsMADS3 remains part of current mechanistic models of rice pollen/tapetum biology (pqac-00000020) | No explicit OsMADS3-specific quantitative data in excerpt (pqac-00000020) | Preprint and not focused on OsMADS3 directly; useful only as recent contextual confirmation (pqac-00000020) |
| 2024 | Maio, *Plants* | https://doi.org/10.3390/plants13111595 | Review | Recent review of floral organ development that notes rice class C genes **OsMADS3** and **OsMADS58** retain conserved AG-like functions, supporting continued consensus that OsMADS3 is central to reproductive organ development in cereals (pqac-00000008) | No quantitative OsMADS3-specific data in accessible snippet (pqac-00000008) | Broad review, not OsMADS3-focused; useful for up-to-date consensus framing rather than mechanistic depth (pqac-00000008) |


*Table: This table compiles the main accessible sources supporting functional annotation of rice OsMADS3 (UniProt Q40704), highlighting its roles in stamen identity, floral meristem determinacy, ROS regulation through MT-1-4b, and conserved S109 alternative splicing. It also flags where evidence is primary versus review-level and where quantitative detail is limited.*
