photoreversibly photochromic regulator pigment such as
phytochrome, linear action dichroism could theoretically be
obtained after photoselection even if the molecules are
initially randomly oriented. If randomly oriented Pr (red-
absorbing phytochrome) (plant photoregulators) molecules are
partially converted to Pfr (far-red absorbing phytochrome)
molecules by plane-polarized red light, those molecules will
preferentially be converted which have their red transition
moments nearly parallel to the electric vector of the red light.
The effect of subsequent plane-polarized far-red light will
depend on the plane of polarization. A general theory is
developed for how this can be used to determine whether or not
the
