retina & axon
Regular ommatidial array is disrupted and posterior region of the eye is blistered.
In embryos, the optic lobe primordium does not form a complete circle after invagination, and can be mislocated at the dorsal surface of the brain. In larvae, the morphology of the outer optic anlagen is disorganized. Optic lobes can be fused at the dorsal surface. Proliferating cells in the inner proliferation center decrease in number. Retinal axons do not innervate the lamina properly.
aos257, sty254 has photoreceptor neuron phenotype
Decrease in argos gene dosage fails to affect the multiple R7 phenotype of Ras64BV12.sev or restore the production of R7 cells in sev14 mutants.
The retinal axon phenotype can be suppressed by SX155.
