Anele Ndlovu

Anele’s research focuses on soybean plant–microbe interactions, with particular emphasis on microbial community stability and dysbiosis under abiotic stress. Her current work integrates molecular and culture-based approaches to characterise microbial diversity and functional shifts associated with stress exposure in soybean holobionts. More broadly, Anele is interested in microbial ecology–driven strategies to enhance plant resilience, particularly through understanding how microbial community structure influences host performance under environmental stress. Her research contributes to applied and conceptual advances in plant microbiome management for sustainable agriculture.
