GplusE is a strategy for genomic selection in which the accuracy of assessment in the reference population for a primary trait such as yield is increased by the incorporation of data from high‐ throughput field phenotyping platforms. This increase in precision comes from both exploiting genetic relationships between traits and reducing the effect of environmental influences upon them. We describe a collaborative project among researchers and breeders to develop a large reference population of elite UK wheat lines. This will be used to test the method, to study the design of the reference population, and to test genotyping strategies and imputation methods. Finally, it will provide data to pump‐prime the application of genomic selection to UK winter wheat breeding.

GplusE：超越基因组选择。

GplusE是一种基因组选择策略，其中通过整合来自高通量田间表型平台的数据，提高了参考种群对主要特征（如产量）的评估准确性。精度的提高既来自于利用性状之间的遗传关系，也在于减少环境对它们的影响。我们描述了研究人员和育种人员之间的一项合作项目，以开发大量英国精英小麦品系的参考种群。这将用于测试方法，研究参考人群的设计以及测试基因分型策略和插补方法。最后，它将提供数据，以促进基因组选择在英国冬小麦育种中的应用。
