    Detailed Description
    Statement
    Reference

    Single photoreceptors mutant for InRex15 survive, but axons have an altered morphology and the axonal process is very thin compared with wild type axons. All analysed R8 photoreceptors correctly target the M3 layer.

    InRex15 mutants show no defects in opsin regulation.

    In mosaic larvae in which homozygous clones have been induced in the eye, photoreceptor cell axons project normally through the optic stalk but fail to target the optic lobe properly. The axons cross and terminate prematurely, resulting in gaps and densely packed regions in the lamina. In the medulla, projections fail to form the staggered projections seen in the wild type and the growth cones terminate in thick blunt ends. 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 and gaps in the R7 layer are seen. Heterozygotes have normal photoreceptor cell projections in the medulla.

    One copy of InRex15 suppresses the R8 photoreceptor phenotype seen when gogoScer\UAS.T1 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF. 12% of R8 axons form blob-like structures at the M1 layer.

    dock04723/+ ; InRex15/+ double heterozygotes show defects in photoreceptor axon projections in the medulla; gaps in the R7 terminal array and uninnervated areas are seen. These defects are seen in larvae and adults. dock13421/+ ; InRex15/+ double heterozygotes show defects in photoreceptor axon projections in the medulla; gaps in the R7 terminal array and uninnervated areas are seen. These defects are seen in larvae and adults. No obvious defects in photoreceptor axon projections in the medulla are seen in chico1/+ ; InRex15/+ double heterozygous adults.
