Initially he worked on micropropagation of different varieties of flower plants but soon started deploying tissue culture techniques at the laboratory he had set up. Reddiar is credited with the standardization of the technique of nodal stem cuttings in mist chamber.[3] He is reported to have developed over 100 varieties of plants such as Crossandra and disease resistant Casuarina.[5][6] One of the crossandra varieties he has developed has been christened Abdul Kalam Crossandra, after the erstwhile President of India. Another variety of casuarina developed by him is dedicated to the incumbent Chief Minister of Puducherry, N. Rangaswamy and is known by name, Rangaswamy Casuarina.[5][7][8] He is reported to have devised farming techniques for Delhi Crossandra which yields 20 kg of flowers per acre per day.[3] He is also credited with the development of 30 high yielding mutant varieties of Crossandra using gamma radiation, with assistance from the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam.[3][9][10] Reddiar, whose hybrid varieties have been planted in the Mughal Gardens of the Rashtrapati Bhavan,[9] lives in Koodapakkam in Puducherry.[1] Awards and recognitionsVenkatapathi Reddiar, holder several patents,[11] was honored by the International Tamil University, Maryland, USA[12] with the degree of Doctor of Letters (Honoris Causa) in 2011.[13] The same year, in 2011, he received the Vezhan Vittighar award from Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited (TAFE).[11] He also features in the Limca Book of Records, an Indian repository of records and achievements, for his innovations.[7][8] Reddiar, who has been invited by the President of India for a lunch with him at the Rashtrapati Bhavan,[9][4][10] was awarded the civilian honour of Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2012, making him the first person from Puducherry to receive the award.[7][8][6] {{portal|India}}References1. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://www.chennaivision.com/news/2013/49967.php | title=Chennai Vision | publisher=Chennai Vision | date=2012 | accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web | url=http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf | title=Padma Shri | publisher=Padma Shri | date=2014 | accessdate=November 11, 2014}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web | url=http://www.lntc72.com/aboutus.php | title=LNTC | publisher=LNTC | date=2014 | accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 4. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/padma-shri-fruit-of-labour/article2836007.ece | title=The Hindu | publisher=The Hindu | date=27 January 2012 | accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 5. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2012-08-14/news/33201246_1_farm-sector-n-rangasamy-new-variety | title=Economic Times | publisher=Economic Times | date=August 14, 2012 | accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 6. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://pondicherrytourism.blogspot.ae/2012/01/shri-t-venkatapathi-reddiar-of.html | title=Pondicherry Tourism | publisher=Pondicherry Tourism | date=2012 | accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite web | url=http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/wire-news/a-recognitionmy-hard-workpadma-shri-awardee_657109.html | title=Money Control | publisher=Money Control | date=2012 | accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite web | url=http://www.indianfrontliners.com/36/blog/270/category/page-55 | title=Indian Frontliners | publisher=Indian Frontliners | date=2012 | accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 9. ^1 2 {{cite web | url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil_nadu/article336836.ece?service=print | title=Indian Express | publisher=Indian Express | date=2012 | accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 10. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/padma-shri-award-for-crossandra-farmer/224423-60-118.html | title=IBN Live | publisher=IBN Live | date=2012 | accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 11. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://www.tafe.com/pdf/TAFE%20Honours%20Progressive%20Farmer%20turned%20agri%20edited%20Sun%20March%2023%205pm.pdf | title=Tafe | publisher=Tafe | date=24 March 2011 | accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 12. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.tamiluniversityusa.org/ | title=International Tamil University | publisher=International Tamil University | date=2014 | accessdate=December 17, 2014}} 13. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.zoompondy.com/news/a-feather-in-cap-for-t-venkatapathi-reddiar/ | title=Zoom Pondy | publisher=Zoom Pondy | date=2013 | accessdate=December 16, 2014 | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141217135517/https://www.zoompondy.com/news/a-feather-in-cap-for-t-venkatapathi-reddiar/ | archivedate=December 17, 2014 | df= }} External links
