A detailed knowledge of the optical properties of plants is necessary to understand how plants detect their light environment and how they may perceive light direction, light quantity, and spectral quality. However, a detailed description of what happens to light after it enters plant tissues is complicated by a number of optical phenomena such as lens effects, light scattering, and the sieve effect. Light scattering, in combination with internal reflection, creates a light trap so that fluence rates within plants can exceed by 3–4 times that of incident light. Internal fluence rates change with increasing depth within the tissues as the light is attenuated by absorption and scattering. This creates a light gradient which is necessary for the perception of light direction in phototropism. Other mechanisms for perception of light may depend upon other optical effects.
