Genetic analysis of klp64D (kif3a homolog) function in the Drosophilapupal retina. The ommatidum on the left consists of wild‐type photoreceptors. The ommatidium on the right is a genetic mosaic containing wild‐type and mutant cells marked by green fluorescent protein. klp64D mutant cells show mislocalization of adherens junction proteins, DE‐Cadherin and Armadillo (labeled by red and blue staining, respectively). See the article by Mukhopadhyay et al. in this issue.
