dock04723 homozygous embryos show defects in dendritogenesis in the embryonic aCC motoneurons (misplacement of primary branches) compared to controls.
The muscle pattern appears similar to wild type in mutant embryos.
dock04723/+ mutant third instar larval eye discs do not show disrupted axon targeting from photoreceptor neurons to the brain optic lobes.
The initial stages of mesoderm spreading during mesoderm morphogenesis are normal in mutant embryos.
In dock04723 homozygous adults the antennal lobes are small and mis-shapen compared to wild-type, and have amorphous neuropil. Antennal glomeruli DM2 and DM3 are severely mis-shapen or split into smaller structures that are scattered randomly around the antennal lobe. The integrity and position of VA11m is unaffected, but it is enlarged and extends into the domains of surrounding glomeruli, in most cases completely engulfing the adjacent VA1d. Projection neurons and glial cells differentiate normally in antennal lobes of the mutants, but dendritic arborization of the projection neurons is more diffuse than in wild-type, and the number of glial processes is somewhat reduced. The development of neurons within the antennae appears normal. When somatic clones of dock04723 are induced in the eye-antennal disc, but not the brain (using Scer\FLP1ey.PN), the antennal lobes are severely mis-shapen and aglomerular, and olfactory neuron axons terminate in ectopic locations. In dock04723 homozygous pupae 30 hours after puparium formation (hAPF) the pattern of olfactory neuron projections from the antennae is normal. However, once in the antennal lobe, the axonal trajectories are clearly abnormal: instead of forming characteristic tracks, the fibers interweave to form a dense mat. Occasionally these axons leave the antennal lobe, and instead extend aberrantly into dorsal brain regions. Most axonal branches in the antennal lobe fail to reach their destination, instead terminating in ectopic mis-shapen glomeruli. Occasionally extra axon branches are seen, but they are short and not associated with ectopic glomeruli.
Mutant embryos that lack both maternal and zygotic dock, exhibit commissures that are generally thicker than wild-type, while longitudinals are reduced - many axons are seen to inappropriately cross the midline. An average of 70% of segments exhibit defects, and average of 7.7 defects are seen animal. 18% of embryos also exhibit defects in pCC/MP1.
In mosaic larvae in which homozygous clones have been induced in the eye, photoreceptor cell axons fail to target the optic lobe properly; gaps and clumps of axons are seen. The pattern of R7 and R8 projections in the medulla shows defects in mosaic adults in which homozygous clones have been induced in the eye; crossing of fibres, uninnervated regions and gaps in the R7 layer are seen. Heterozygotes have normal photoreceptor cell projections in the medulla.
When mutant somatic clones are made in the border cells no effect is seen.
Mutant embryos show a variable absence of the synapse between RP3 and muscles 7 and 6. Outgrowth of RP3 from the CNS is normal. Synapse formation eventually occurs, but is delayed. No ectopic synapses occur. Maternal loss of dock expression enhances the CNS longitudinal axon defects, but not the RP3 synapse formation delay.
Many R1-R6 photoreceptor cell axons migrate ectopically into the medulla in homozygous larvae, passing their normal target (the lamina), generating gaps in the lamina R1-R6 termination site. Fasciculation and growth cone morphology of the photoreceptor cell axons is also altered. Abnormal large axon bundles are seen in both the lamina and medulla. The phenotype is completely penetrant.
R cell projections in both the lamina and medulla are disorganised. Large axon bundles form: bundles contain R1-R6 neurons that fail to terminate in the lamina.
Some homozygotes survive to adulthood. These flies are sluggish and uncoordinated, dying within a few days after eclosion. Homozygous third instar larvae exhibit defects in receptor cell fasciculation, targeting and retinotopy. The plexus of receptor cell terminals in the lamina is uneven. Bundles do project into the medulla where they establish an uneven array of terminals. Grouping of axons in the optic stalk is also aberrant. The pattern of proliferation of optic lobe neuroblasts and lamina precursors is indistinguishable from wild type. Lamina and neurons are disorganised, this is a likely consequence of defects in receptor cell innervation rather than an intrinsic defect in neurons or glia. Structure of the medulla neuropile is abnormal. Mosaic heads reveal that projections of mutant fibres in the medulla terminal field are abnormal, gaps are present in the R7 terminal field and fibres cross between columns. Some R1-R6 axons underlying mutant patches project into the medulla. Most ommatidia in mosaic patches are indistinguishable from wild type. A small number of receptor cells are missing, this may reflect a weak defect in cell survival due to abnormal innervation.

dock04723 drke0A double mutant embryos do not show defects in myoblast fusion.
dock04723 hbs459 double mutant embryos have severe defects in myoblast fusion.
The number of unfused myoblasts in sns4.3 embryos is enhanced if they are either heterozygous or homozygous for dock04723.
Expression of kirreVDRC.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR in a dock04723 background results in severe myoblast fusion defects in embryos.

A dock04723 background suppresses the rough eye phenotype related to fru isoform A, found upon expression of fruNP0021 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
dock04723 cknC.Δ750-806 double homozygotes exhibit delayed 'immature' ISNb axons in 59% of hemisegments. Motor axons in the affected nerves are loosely organised with multiple projections and resemble wild-type axons at earlier stages. Furthermore, the ISNd branch is frequently absent or reduced in size. Examination of the ISNb/d choice point reveals defects in ISNb/d branch segregation. The lateral two longitudinal Fas2-positive fascicles are poorly fasciculated and discontinuous in these double mutants.
dock04723/+; Dys8-2/+ double heterozygous mutant third instar larval eye discs do not show disrupted axon targeting from photoreceptor neurons to the brain optic lobes.
dock04723/+; Df(3R)Dl-X43/+ double heterozygous mutant third instar larval eye discs do not show disrupted axon targeting from photoreceptor neurons to the brain optic lobes.
Dg323/dock04723 double heterozygous mutant third instar larval eye discs show disrupted axon targeting from photoreceptor neurons to the brain optic lobes.
Moderate dominant enhancer of the Ras85Dix12a eggshell phenotype; 31-40% of dorsal appendages are wild type.
The phenotype is largely suppressed by msnEP549 expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF; the number of photoreceptor cell axons in the medulla is dramatically reduced. The premature termination of many photoreceptor cell growth cones within the optic stalk is also seen in these larvae (this phenotype is not seen in larvae expressing msnEP549 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF in a wild-type background).
