Viewing plants merely as solitary beings is no longer sufficient for understanding or safeguarding the biosphere. Dr. Moroenyane shares a highly thought-provoking opinion on this matter available on our website and LinkedIn: shorturl.at/VjHiG #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

Dr Moroenyane presents the plenary lecture at the 50th SAAB Conference. His talk spotlights how plants & their microbes adapt to drought together as a thriving coordinated team. Read the abstract here: shorturl.at/wbCrS #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

Yesterday, our student, Anele Ndlovu, presented her MSc proposal titled “Mitigating Microbial Dysbiosis Under Environmental Stress in Soybean: Engineering Plant-Microbe Interactions for Sustainable Remediation", supervised by Dr Itumeleng Moroenyane. #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean.

From Stellenbosch to Okinawa! We made history at the #Phyllosphere2025 Symposium and #AJCore Workshop, presenting cutting-edge research on the soybean holobiont under drought stress 💯💃. Read more about our presentations here: ow.ly/8tvo50WaAoU. #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

We are so pleased that our lab participated in #Phyllosphere2025, an inspiring space for dialogue on plant-surface microbiomes and crop resilience. For many of our students, it was their first conference experience and connecting with global scholars 🎉. #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

Today, Dr Moreonyane is presenting at the Plant Microbiome & Genomics Lab, NCKU, exploring the holobiont as a resilience unit, with a focus on microbial partnerships that help plants withstand abiotic stress. #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

BREAKING NEWS: We're officially in our first international conference season! We are excited to embark on this significant milestone for the lab and are ready to learn, share, and connect! tinyurl.com/4avtp794 #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

What if Africa’s greatest farming allies were invisible to the eye? Dr Moroenyane’s research is shining a light on how plant holobionts are revolutionising African agriculture—naturally: tinyurl.com/bdcvahbk #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

🌱 Anele is a passionate microbiologist bridging science and sustainability. She explores how soybeans and microbes team up under stress, using diverse methods to tackle dysbiosis and boost resilience. #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

🌱 Tebogo’s master’s research digs into how microbes help soybeans and Sutherlandia handle stress. By studying plant metabolites, she’s uncovering how resilience takes root—paving the way for more sustainable farming. #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

🌱 Tacha-Marie is diving deep into the microbial world of soybeans, exploring how these tiny partners boost sustainability and resilience in agriculture. We're excited to see her journey unfold and the impact of her work! #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

🌱Bevan is the go-to guy for all things tech in the lab—supporting students, training postgrads on specialised gear, and keeping things running smoothly. His skills boost learning and research in our plant holobiont science space. #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

🌱 Meet Megan: with a Genetics background from Stellenbosch, she keeps our lab running smoothly while driving groundbreaking research on plant holobionts. Her sharp eye and steady hands make her an essential part of the team. #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

🌱 Meet Dr Itumeleng Moroenyane. A plant scientist exploring how microbes and plants evolve together. As a P.I., he studies plant microbiomes as a unified system, unlocking insights into plant health, productivity, and evolution. #PlantHolobiont #AfricanHolobiont #TeamSoybean

Understanding the plant holobiont could transform how we approach food security and environmental conservation. Join us as we raise awareness about this crucial research 🌿🔬: shorturl.at/Hf9cU
