PY has not been reported in seeds of gymnosperms or in reproductive structures of non-seed plants. Sporocarps of the heterosporous fern family Marsileaceae are functionally analogous to seeds of angiosperms, and the anatomy of the sporocarp wall and requirement of scarification to release spores suggest the possible occurrence of PY. The primary aims of this study were to confirm (or not) the presence of PY in sporocarps of Marsileaceae and to morpho-anatomically characterize the water-gap complex with special reference to Marsilea minuta.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Water impermeability of M. minuta sporocarps was tested with an imbibition test. PY was broken by exposing sporocarps to wet and dry heat under laboratory conditions and storage under different moisture regimes. The water-gap region of the sporocarp was identified and characterized by a water-gap blocking test, microtome sectioning and light and scanning electron microscopy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Key Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Water impermeability was confirmed in sporocarps of M. minuta. Both wet and dry heat treatments were effective in breaking PY (opening the water-gap). Dry storage increased sensitivity to PY-breaking treatments. Long-term storage under various moisture regimes made the sporocarps permeable. Morphology and anatomy in the water-gap region differ from those in the rest of the sporocarp wall.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The presence of a new kind of PY (sporocarp physical dormancy) was confirmed for the first time in Division Polypodiophyta. This is the first report of PY other than for seeds and fruits of Spermatophyta. The Type-II compound water-gap complex (superior tooth gap or Russow\u2019s gap) is anatomically more complex and differs in both morphology and anatomy from water-gaps previously described for Spermatophyta.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/aob\/mcag295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T11:54:42Z","timestamp":1788954882000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Beyond seeds and fruits: water impermeability in sporocarps of\n                    <i>Marsilea minuta<\/i>\n                    (Marsileaceae) expands the taxonomic limits of physical dormancy"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7722-5740","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N S","family":"Gama-Arachchige","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany, University of Peradeniya , Peradeniya 20400 ,","place":["Sri Lanka"]},{"name":"Postgraduate Institute of Science, University of Peradeniya , Peradeniya 20400 ,","place":["Sri Lanka"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K A I","family":"Lakshani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany, University of Peradeniya , Peradeniya 20400 ,","place":["Sri Lanka"]},{"name":"Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture, University of Peradeniya , Peradeniya 20400 ,","place":["Sri Lanka"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J B","family":"Senevirathne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany, University of Peradeniya , Peradeniya 20400 ,","place":["Sri Lanka"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A D S N P","family":"Athukorala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany, University of Peradeniya , Peradeniya 20400 ,","place":["Sri Lanka"]},{"name":"Postgraduate Institute of Science, University of Peradeniya , Peradeniya 20400 ,","place":["Sri Lanka"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6518-7951","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"K M G G","family":"Jayasuriya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany, University of Peradeniya , Peradeniya 20400 ,","place":["Sri Lanka"]},{"name":"Postgraduate Institute of Science, University of Peradeniya , Peradeniya 20400 ,","place":["Sri Lanka"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R L","family":"Geneve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Horticulture, University of Kentucky , Lexington, KY 40546 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J M","family":"Baskin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, University of Kentucky , Lexington, KY 40508 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C C","family":"Baskin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, University of Kentucky , Lexington, KY 40508 ,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky , Lexington, KY 40546 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026100621413927100_mcag295-B1","first-page":"549","article-title":"Caracteriza\u00e7\u00e3o anat\u00f4mica das folhas, frutos e sementes de Sapindus saponaria L.
