In this article the potential variation in biochemical constituents of peanut plant leaves affect by presoaking peanut seeds in copper oxide nanoparticles suspension has been studied and compared with its bulk counterpart. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis shows the most prominent peaks at ~2923 cm -1, ~1636 cm -1 and ~1033 cm -1 , which correspond to lipids, protein and carbohydrate content in leaf samples respectively. The calculated mean ratio of the peak intensities for various frequency regions and total b...
