learobo2-1 embryos show weak salivary gland guidance defects.
learobo2-1/learobo2-5 and learobo2-1/learobo2-4 have defects in the ellipsoid body and fan-shaped body.
16% of mushroom bodies lack dorsal projections in learobo2-1/learobo2-5 animals, and 32% have a partial median projection. In addition, the diameter of the peduncle is larger than in wild-type animals.
34% of mushroom bodies lack dorsal projections in learobo2-4/learobo2-1 animals, and 18% have a partial median projection. The median lobes are positioned more posteriorly than in wild type. In addition, the the diameter of peduncle is larger than in wild-type animals.
learobo2-1/learobo2-1 DM2 glomerulus innervating neurons, produced by mitotic recombination in a learobo2-1/+ background, fail to cross over to the contralateral lobe through the antennal commissure. Instead they terminate at the midline forming small "glomerular-like" structures. Targeting of these neurons to antennal glomerulus DM2 occurs normally, although in many cases the glomeruli appear less intensely innervated (13/16).
The lateral Fas2-expressing fascicle often merges with the intermediate fascicle in learobo2-1/learobo2-4 mutant embryos. Midline crossing defects also occur. 7.9% of embryos show fusion between the medial and intermediate fascicles, 17.1% show fusion between the lateral and and intermediate fascicles and 13.4% show breaks in the lateral fascicle.
In learobo2-1/learobo2-4 mutants about a quarter of Fas2 positive axons in the ventral nerve cord are misrouted. These form bundles of varying thickness.
robo21 has presumptive embryonic salivary gland phenotype, enhanceable by robo11
robo21 is an enhancer of presumptive embryonic salivary gland phenotype of robo11
In robo1 learobo2-1 double mutants, the salivary gland guidance phenotype is enhanced. Glands are curved medially towards the midline, instead of lying parallel to the midline as in wild type.
