photoreceptor cell & axon
photoreceptor cell & axon | somatic clone
Defects in pathfinding by photoreceptor axons are seen in mosaic animals in which virtually the entire retina is homozygous for dockunspecified while other tissues are heterozygous (clones generated using the "eyFLP" system); 77% of brain hemispheres of mosaic adults show a "medulla bypass" phenotype.
R cell axons form large abnormal fascicles in the optic ganglia. This leads to hyperinnervated regions separated by areas lacking innervation in the lamina and the medulla. In addition to disrupting targeting, R cell axons terminals are thick and blunt ended.

One copy of PakGMR.T:Myr1 in dockunspecified larvae, suppresses the dock phenotype of gaps in the lamina, abnormal axon bundling and unexpanded growth cones in the medulla. Quantification of the expanded growth cones in the medulla showed an increase from less than 2 to 64+/-8 (136+/-12 in wild-type).
