Expression of gekScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Glass38-1 has no effect on axon targeting in wild type third instar larvae. However approximately 28% of adult R7 cells expressing gekScer\UAS.cGa target either to the R8 layer or to an even more superficial layer in the outer medulla, or occasionally to the lamina. R8 axon targeting is unaffected.
Scer\GAL4elav-C155/gekUAS.cGa is a non-suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy | somatic clone phenotype of Cdc424
Scer\GAL4elav-C155/gekUAS.cGa is a non-suppressor of eye photoreceptor cell | somatic clone phenotype of Cdc424
Expression of gekScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 fails to suppress the axon targeting phenotypes seen in Cdc424 mutant clones.
Expression of gekScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Glass38-1 rescues the axon targeting phenotypes seen in gekomb1080/Df(2R)e03819-f02302 third instar larvae.
Expression of gekScer\UAS.cGa in R cells under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 rescues the axon targeting phenotypes seen in gekomb1080 homozygous pupal stage clones. 91% of axons extend correctly, only 3% mistarget and 6% do not extend. Premature stopping of R1-R6 axons above the lamina plexus is not observed.
