1. Light - basic concepts, phenomena, characteristics, sources, detectors. 2. Importance of light for plant growth and development - photosynthesis, photosynthetic pigments, signaling role of light, photoreceptors. 3. Light as a factor (co)determining the form and structure of plants and leaves - photomorphogenesis, light in canopy, light-controlled movements, light-sensing in roots. 4. The effect of ultraviolet radiation on plants. 5. Optical properties of leaves - surface, internal structure and composition. Reflectance, transmittance, absorbance, absorptance. Optical indexes. 6. Chlorophyll fluorescence - definition, measurement, parameters. 7. Ultraweak photon emission. 8. Changes in optical and fluorescence parameters of plants under stress conditions, phenotyping, remote sensing.
