Plants influence epiphytic bacterial associations but Salmonella enterica colonizes crop plants commensally, raising the possibility of human foodborne illness, but the factors that mediate human pathogen-plant associations remain understudied. We evaluated whether any changes in leaf tissue and surface metabolomes with kale (Brassica oleraceaAcephala group) development and in response to drought modulatedSalmonellaleaf association. Untargeted phytochemical profiling (including primary and secondary metabolites) of kale leaf tissue extracts and leaf surface washes revealed distinct metabolite profiles that shifted with plant development. Metabolomes of juvenile plants also diverged in response to drought stress, an effect not noted in mature kale. Restricted watering in juvenile plants led to up-accumulation of 45 compounds in leaf tissue and 21 in leaf wash and the appearance of several unique peaks, with concomitant increases in phytochemical measurements. The antioxidant capacity and total flavonoid content were higher in mature than juvenile, regularly watered plant leaf extracts. Drought also elicited flavonoids and glucosinolates in juvenile plants. In mature plants, drought did not induce further prominent changes. Regularly watered juvenile kale provided a favorable substrate for inoculatedSalmonellabut the ability to supportSalmonelladeclined with age and with drought stress.Salmonellagrowth was impaired in mature or water-stressed plant washes compared to controls and positive correlations were detected betweenSalmonellacounts on leaves and in leaf washes. Moreover,Salmonellacounts were inversely correlated with total flavonoids and phenolics in kale tissues from juvenile plants and regularly watered plants. Future studies should assess how changes in primary and secondary metabolites on the kale plant surface can modulate theSalmonellaassociation. Regulated water restriction could be a strategy in controlled agriculture, with the dual purpose of enhancing health beneficial quality and food safety, especially when harvested at the baby kale stage.
