The overall objective of this study is to contribute to an understanding of how V. faba flowers attract pollinators, building on the work carried out by these previous PhD projects. In particular this project will assess how scent attracts pollinators and look to determine whether different lines of V. faba have more attractive scents. Additionally, the effect of wildflower margins on pollinator populations within the crop will be evaluated. This understanding will provide advice on future breeding strategies that aim to maximise yield through improving pollinator attraction, while simultaneously offering better support to wild pollinator populations.

本研究的总体目标是在之前博士项目的基础上，进一步了解蚕豆花如何吸引传粉者。特别是这个项目将评估气味如何吸引传粉者，并确定不同的蚕豆豆系是否有更吸引人的气味。此外，还将评估野花边缘对作物内传粉媒介种群的影响。这一认识将为未来的育种策略提供建议，旨在通过提高传粉媒介的吸引力来实现产量最大化，同时为野生传粉媒介种群提供更好的支持。
