rohEY04039 homozygous mutant clones in the eye have normal morphology at 1 day old but decreased rhodopsin and then show age-dependent retinal degeneration (including a decrease in rhabdomere numbers, seen in light or dark conditions at 10 days old); ERG recordings are similar to wild type; phenotypes are rescued by excision of the rohEY04039 P-element.
rohEY04039 is rescued by rohUAS.cHa/Scer\GAL4GMR.long
Expression of rohScer\UAS.cHa driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.long rescues reduced rhodopsin levels and retinal degeneration in rohEY04039 homozygous mutant clones in the eye.
