Rich1 eye clones made using the 'eyFLP' system display abnormally small "on" and "off" transients in electroretinograms. However, the amplitude of depolarizations in the mutant is fairly normal. Mutant epithelial glial cells are thinner than in wild type, and the cartridges contain a highly variable number of photoreceptor cell terminals ranging from 3 to 8. However, in these missorted cartridges, active zone integrity, vesicle density and capitate projections are normal.
chp staining of the medulla of Rich1 eye clones (made using the 'eyFLP' system) reveals a few 'gaps' as if some R7 terminals are missing.
About 20% of all R7 cell terminals fail to reach their target layer M6, but rather target the M3 layer in adult brains containing Rich1 clones made using the 'eyFLP' system. In contrast, there are no obvious R8 targeting defects.
In the medulla, 74% of Rich1 mutant R7 cells (induced specifically in photoreceptor cells using Scer\FLP1ey.3.5.hs and MARCM) fail to target to the M6 layers.
62.5% of single Rich1 mutant R7 cells (induced specifically in photoreceptor cells using Scer\FLP1ey.3.5.hs and MARCM) surrounded by wild type R7 and R8 cells fail to target to the M6 layer, indicating a cell-autonomous effect.
Animals containing Rich1 mutant eye clones induced specifically in photoreceptor cells using Scer\FLP1ey.3.5.hs display improper cartridge organization in the lamina.

Rab6D23D/+ does not enhance the R7 targeting phenotype seen in Rich1 eye clones made using the 'eyFLP' system.
Overexpression of Rab6Q71L.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-YFP in Rich1 eye clones made using the 'MARCM' system greatly suppresses the R7 targeting defects caused by Rich1.
Overexpression of Rab6T26N.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP in Rich1 eye clones made using the 'MARCM' system neither suppresses nor enhances the R7 targeting defects caused by Rich1.
CadN405/+ does not enhance the R7 targeting phenotype seen in Rich1 eye clones made using the 'eyFLP' system.
CadNΔ14, Rich1 double mutant eye clones (made using the 'eyFLP' system) have R7 targeting phenotypes similar to CadNΔ14 single mutants.
Rich1 is rescued by RichTag:HA
Rich+t7.5 rescues the homozygous lethality and the targeting phenotypes seen in Rich1 eye clones.
RichT:Ivir\HA1 rescues the homozygous lethality and the targeting phenotypes seen in Rich1 eye clones.
Molecular and phenotypic data suggest that Rich2 is a weaker allele than Rich1.
