Sumario:In plant breeding, genomic prediction (GP) may be an efficient tool to increase the accuracy of selecting genotypes, mainly, under multi-environments trials. This approach has the advantage to increase genetic gains of complex traits and reduce costs. However, strategies are needed to increase the accuracy and reduce the bias of genomic estimated breeding values. In this context, the objectives were: i) to compare two strategies to obtain markers subsets based on marker effect regarding their impact on the prediction accuracy of genome selection; and, ii) to compare the accuracy of four GP methods including genotype × environment interaction and two kernels (GBLUP and Gaussian). We used a rice diversity panel (RICE) and two maize datasets (HEL and USP). These were evaluated for grain yield and plant height. Overall, the prediction accuracy and relative efficiency of genomic selection were increased using markers subsets, which has the potential for build fixed arrays and reduce costs with genotyping. Furthermore, using Gaussian kernel and the including G×E effect, there is an increase in the accuracy of the genomic prediction models.
