The aim of the research is to better understand certain biological and agronomic traits of L. caerulea which could lead to its adoption as a novel fruit crop by the UK agricultural industry. L. caerulea's reproductive processes need to be better understood. Levels of self fertility and the impact of the unusual flower morphology on the fertilisation process need to be clarified. Both factors will impact breeding and agronomical decisions since achieving high yields is key to crop adoption by growers. Little research has focused on the suitability of the UK climate for growing L. caerulea. Phenological development will be observed and linked to MET weather data, as well as the need for winter dormancy. Nutrient content is also linked to climate and growing conditions so determining the chemical composition of L. caerulea berries grown in the UK is important for marketing nutritional health benefits.

这项研究的目的是更好地了解L. caerulea的某些生物学和农艺特征，这可能导致其作为英国农业产业作为一种新型水果作物的采用。 L. Caerulea的生殖过程需要更好地理解。需要阐明自我生育能力和异常花形态对受精过程的影响。这两个因素都将影响繁殖和农艺决策，因为获得高产是种植者采用作物的关键。很少的研究集中在英国气候对生长乳杆菌的适合性上。将观察物候发育并将其与MET天气数据以及冬季休眠的需求有关。养分含量还与气候和生长状况有关，因此确定英国种植的牛乳乳杆菌的化学成分对于营销营养健康益处很重要。
