Abstract excerpt
Durum wheat breeding increasingly requires tools that can anticipate how genotypes respond to the shifting mix of heat and drought typical of Mediterranean drylands. In this study, we explored whether a multimodal deep learning (MM-DL) framework-one that brings together genomic markers, environmental covariates (ECs), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and phenology-can improve predictions for five key...
