Original Abstract
A convolutional neural network trained on hyperspectral leaf images predicts drought tolerance with 89% accuracy across 15 crop species. The model identifies subtle spectral shifts in the 1400-1900nm range as primary predictive features, enabling rapid phenotyping without destructive sampling.

Wheat is a group of wild and domesticated grasses of the genus Triticum. As cereals, they are cultivated for their grains, which are staple foods around the world. Well-known wheat species and hybrids include the most widely grown common wheat, spelt, durum, emmer, einkorn, and Khorasan or Kamut....
