ogre2 flies show no electroretinogram (ERG) transients, although the magnitude of the receptor potential is completely normal. ogre2 transients are absent in both light and dark-adapted conditions. Mosaic ogre2 flies, in which the eye is completely mutant for ogre, but all other body tissues, including the lamina are heterozygous (i.e. phenotypically wild-type), completely lack on- and off-transients when dark adapted. These mosaic animals differ from ogre2 homozygous mutants in having normal-size optic ganglia. In ogre2 mutants, the R1-R6 neurons correctly innervate the lamina and do not exhibit obvious pathfinding defects, although in 10% of cases occasional small gaps are observed in the staining pattern of R1-R6 (visualised with Ecol\lacZninaE.T:Btau\MAPT), this is not observed in control stainings.
Viable. Abnormal pattern preference behaviour, normal eye morphology and highly abnormal optic lobes. Gynandromorph analysis and somatic recombinant mosaics demonstrate that the eye alone does not induce the optic lobe phenotype. ogre1/ogre2 are temperature sensitive lethals: 60% survive at 29oC and 12% at 18oC. Adult escapers of ogre2 heterozygotes with lethal alleles of ogre have an extreme optic lobe phenotype and holes in the CNS.

ogre::shakBo1-182:s173-241:o252-end.Scer\UAS rescues ogre2 effectively, rescuing the on-transient 63% and the off-transient 64% as effectively as ogre2 protein. ogre::shakBo1-182:s173-end.Scer\UAS rescues ogre2 effectively, rescuing the on-transient 50% and the off-transient 66% as effectively as ogre2 protein.

The ogre2 mutant phenotype can be rescued by expression of wild-type ogreScer\UAS.cCa under a Scer\GAL4ogre.PC driver. This driver expresses in a subset of retinal axons beginning in the early pupal stage. Double copies of both Scer\GAL4ogre.PC and ogreScer\UAS.cCa are needed to effect adequate rescue. Animals containing two copies of both ogreScer\UAS.cCa and Scer\GAL4ogre.PC show rescue of on-transients that are approximately 80% of wild-type and off-transients that are approximately 70% of wild-type levels.
