He was reported to have contributed to the FAO sponsored Indo-Japonica Hybridization programme[1] which yielded the nitrogen responsive rice varieties of Mahsuri, Malinja, ADT 27 and Circna, the first two released in Malaysia, the third in India and the last one, in Australia.[5]. He also evolved a number of varieties of rice which include GEB 24, ADT 3, CO 4 and CO 25.[6] The GEB 24 variety is a progenitor for 83 rice varieties developed across countries.[7] Ramiah was one of the first scientists who advocated for standardisation of gene symbols for rice.[2] Serving as the FAO expert based in Bangkok, he was involved with the rice breeding in many countries.[1][2] He was known to have conducted advanced research on X-Ray induced mutation of rice[2] and established a gene bank for rice.[8] He was the author of two books on the subject, Rice in Madras[9] and Rice Breeding and Genetics.[10] The British government appointed Ramiah a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 1938 Birthday Honours list.[11] After India's independence, the Government of India recognised his services by awarding him the fourth highest civilian honour of Padma Shri in 1957 and the third highest honour of the Padma Bhushan in 1970.[3] Centre for Environmental Science and Engineering of the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai has instituted Ramiah Memorial Lecture, an annual lecture event, in his honour.[12] He died on 3 August 1988, survived by his five sons and two daughters and their families; his wife had predeceased him.[1] See also{{Div col|colwidth=30em}}
