Abstract. We studied the peculiarities of changes of the number of primary metabolites in the seeds of winter cereals (soft wheat ‘Moskovskaya 56’ and wild wheat ‘Rozovskaya 7’) after the treatment by electromagnetic field of superhigh frequency (EMF SHF), which can be used for presowing treatment as well as at production of food and feed. The investigation was carried out in 2015 with grain, grown in Kemerovo region. The seeds were treated with an electromagnetic radiation unit LG MS-1948V (South Korea) at a power of 140 and 700 W for 1 second; the control option was not treated. The protein content in the control wheat seeds was 13.10%, after the treatment, it reduced significantly to 11.50 and 12.50%, respectively. For wild wheat the values were 11.30, 10.60, and 9.70%, correspondingly; the significant changes were in the treatment by 700 W only. The content of crude cellulose in winter wheat grain increased from 1.86% to 5.38 and 3.76%, respectively. In the grain of wild wheat it grew by 22.45% from 1.96% at 140 W and reduced by 3.06% at 700 W. The amount of sugar in the grain of wheat and wild wheat was similar: 4.06 and 4.24%, respectively. At 140 W it reduced by 22.66 and 12.97%, and at 700 W it increased by 4.68 and 8.73%, respectively. The starch content in the control was 36.20 and 36.45%, respectively. At 140 W it decreased by 4.61% (wheat) and 3.18% (wild wheat). The lipid content in wheat grain was 1.57% without treatment, and it did not change significantly under the influence of EMF. For wild wheat this value was 0.99%, and it reliably increased by 30.30% in both variants of treatment. The biochemical composition of wheat grain changed more coordinated under the influence of EMF than that of wild wheat.
