Growingpac choi in the greenhouse under different light intensities is unlikely to affect diamondback moths through changes in pac choi chemistry unless decreased male body weight confers a fitness cost, however, plant-mediated effects associated with changes in light intensity on P. xylostella survival should be evaluated.
