Resumen	Chlorophyll fluorescence is a non-invasive optical measurement of how efficiently the photosynthetic machinery converts absorbed light into chemical energy (photosynthesis) or heat and light (fluorescence). When photosynthesis is inhibited by stress (drought, cold, salt, pests), chlorophyll fluorescence increases because excitation energy cannot be used for photosynthesis and must be released as light or heat. Fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, OJIP curves) act as sensitive, rapid indicators of photosynthetic stress, enabling early detection of plant dysfunction before visible symptoms appear.	Crop growth models are mechanistic simulation systems designed to predict crop development, biomass accumulation, and yield under varying environmental and management conditions. DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) and APSIM (Agricultural Production Systems Simulator) are the most widely used platforms, developed in the 1990s-2000s to support agronomic decision-making and climate adaptation research.	Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a dimensionless quantity that measures the total one-sided area of leaves per unit ground area covered by a canopy. It quantifies canopy density and structure: LAI = 0 for bare soil, LAI = 1 for a thin crop, LAI = 3-6 for dense cereal or grass canopies, and LAI > 8 for dense forest. LAI is a key variable in crop growth models, evapotranspiration estimation, and remote sensing because it directly controls light interception, photosynthesis, and water loss from vegetation.	Root Architecture Analysis is a quantitative method in agronomy and plant science that characterises the spatial configuration, branching pattern, and geometric properties of a plant's root system. By measuring parameters such as total root length, lateral root density, root angle, and root tip number, researchers link below-ground structural traits to nutrient and water acquisition efficiency, soil penetration capacity, and ultimately to crop productivity and stress tolerance.
