In a bid to improve India's indigenous sugarcane varieties, the Sugarcane Breeding Station had been set up at Coimbatore in the early 1920s. By manipulating polyploid cells through cross-breeding of hybrids in the laboratory, Janaki Ammal was able to create a high yielding strain of the sugarcane that would thrive in Indian conditions.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_5-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Her research also helped analyse the geographical distribution of sugarcane across India, and to establish that the <a href="/wiki/Saccharum_spontaneum" title="Saccharum spontaneum"><i>Saccharum</i> s<i>pontaneum</i></a> variety of sugarcane had originated in India.

In 1946, Janaki Ammal became the RHS's first female scientist. Specimens pressed by her are still present at the Wisley Herbarium and her sample of <i><a href="/wiki/Rhododendron_degronianum" title="Rhododendron degronianum">Rhododendron yakushimanum</a></i> ‘Koichiro Wada’ has become the nomenclatural standard (similar to a type specimen for a species). During her time here, she looked further into the effects of colchicine on various woody plants, including <a href="/wiki/Magnolia" title="Magnolia">Magnolia</a>. Ammal was highly respected along with her work and also had people sent to her from different countries to study under her. Constance Margaret Eardley, Australian botanist, was one of the individuals who studied under Ammal for a year. Ammal also spoke for the RHS at international conferences. She travelled to Nepal on a plant collection expedition during 1948-1949 and returned to Wisley with specimens (Fragaria, Iris, Rhododendron, Rosa and Rubus).<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During the years she spent in England, Ammal did chromosome studies of a wide range of garden plants. Her studies on chromosome numbers and <a href="/wiki/Ploidy" title="Ploidy">ploidy</a> in many cases threw light on the evolution of species and varieties. <i>The Chromosome Atlas of Cultivated Plants</i> which she wrote jointly with C. D. Darlington in 1945 was a compilation that incorporated much of her own work on many species. At the Society, one of the plants she worked on was the magnolia.

The forest was declared a national park on 15 November 1984 but unfortunately Ammal was not around to see this triumph as she died 9 months earlier (at age 87). This national park is filled with rare varieties of orchids. It had been threatened by flooding and due to Amal’s efforts, this park is now a popular and flourishing area visited by many tourists. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Awards_and_honours">Awards and honours</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Janaki_Ammal&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Awards and honours"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Dr. Janaki Ammal is mentioned among Indian Americans of the Century in an India Currents magazine article published on 1 January 2000, by S.Gopikrishna & Vandana Kumar: "In an age when most women didn't make it past high school, would it be possible for an Indian woman to obtain a PhD at one of America's finest public universities and also make seminal contributions to her field?!"
