The genetic basis of an erectoid leaf phenotype was investigated in distinct tomato breeding populations, including one derived from Solanum lycopersicum ?LT05? (with the erectoid leaf phenotype and uniform ripening, genotype uu) × S. pimpinellifollium ?TO-937? (with the wild-type leaf phenotype and green fruit shoulder, genotype UU). The erectoid leaf phenotype was inherited as a semi-dominant trait and it co-segregated with the u allele of gene SlGLK2 (Solyc10g008160). This genomic location coincides with a previously described semi-dominant mutation named as Erectoid leaf (Erl). The genomes of ?LT05?, ?TO-937?, and three other unrelated accessions (with the wild-type Erl + allele) were resequenced with the aim of identifying candidate genes. Comparative genomic analyses, including the reference genome ?Heinz 1706? (Erl + allele), identified an Erectoid leaf-specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the gene Solyc10g009320. This SNP caused a change of a glutamine codon (present in all the wild-type genomes) to a TAA (= ochre stop-codon) in the Erl allele, resulting in a smaller version of the predicted mutant protein (221 vs. 279 amino acids). Solyc10g009320, previously annotated as an ?unknown protein?, was identified as a TILLER ANGLE CONTROL1-like gene. Linkage between the Erl and Solyc10g009320 was confirmed via Sanger sequencing of the PCR amplicons of the two variant alleles. No recombinants were detected in 265 F 2 individuals. Contrasting S 7 near-isogenic lines were also homozygous for each of the alternate alleles, reinforcing Solyc10g009320 as a strong Erl candidate gene and opening the possibility for fine-tuning manipulation of tomato architecture in breeding programs.  © 2019, Springer Nature B.V.  aTOMATE  aBreeding  aComparative genomic analysis  aPlant architecture  aResequencing  aSolanum lycopersicum1 aDE NORONHA FONSECA, M.E.1 aZANDONADI, D.B.1 aPERES, L.E.P.1 aARRUABARRENA, A.1 aFERREIRA, D.S.1 aKEVEI, Z.1 aMOHAREB, F.1 aTHOMPSON, A.J.1 aBOITEUX, L.S.  tEuphytica, 1 May 2019, Volume 215, Issue 5, Article number 95.
