Abstract
It is shown that the features of light propagation in plant leaves depend on the long-range ordering in chloroplasts and spectral characteristics of pigments. It has been established that, with regard of the dispersion of the chlorophyll absorption spectrum, the photonic density of states increases and the spectral peak shifts to the effective photosynthesis wavelength range, which enhances the probability of the photosynthesis processes.
