Abstract :One of the key tasks of modern pharmacology is complete and diverse use of natural raw materials - microorganisms and plants. So, different approaches of metabolism redirection were applied. Studying of plant protective reactions indicated a possibility to use various stress factors for the metabolism reorientation. One of the most effective approaches is to use ionizing and UV-C exposure. Thus, there is a shift in metabolic processes towards the formation of secondary metabolism substances with antioxidant, anticancer, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. Biotechnological use of radiation exposure is based on the systemicity of radiobiological reactions, including protective and adaptive reactions in non-exposed organs («abscopal effect») and even in non-exposed organisms that are found in the same environment as exposed ones («by stander effect»). The products synthesized in these structures are some medicine materials and directly used by human. Radiation exposure affects developing, blocking of primary and secondary metabolism, so must be improved the selection of varieties with initial high productivity of medicinal raw materials, the choice of exposure and optimal doses inducing an increasing yield of the target metabolite and do not reduce the yield of medicinal raw materials. Effect of UV-C and X-ray pre-sowing exposure of seeds to the productivity of inflorescence formation of eight genotypes of Matricia chammomila L. was studied. There were indicated genotypes with increasing yield of inflorescence only under one or two exposure types and the variety with stimulation of flowering under UV-C exposure and absence of the marker under X-ray one.Keywords : pre-sowing radiation exposure, Secondary metabolism, UV-C exposure, X-ray exposure, medicinal raw matherial
