PhenoNEST: A Neuro-Symbolic Framework for Ontology-Aware Multimodal Plant Phenotyping and Trait Discovery

arXiv:2607.03245v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-throughput plant phenotyping generates valuable data that often remains trapped in unstructured text and isolated RGB images. To bridge this semantic gap, we propose a framework for constructing a multimodal granular Knowledge Graph (KG) to monitor genotype-phenotype interactions across time and experiments. In this work, we focus on wheat Triticum aestivum as a representative target crop to validate our methodology across complex canopy environments. Our pipeline first distills noisy field notes to extract entities and relations, dynamicall
