It is almost the end of November; it is the month in which JA was born. JA was the granddaughter of John Child Hannyngton and Kunhi Kurumbi Kuruvai. So, it is possible to say that JA was 1/4th British. In recent years, we have seen more articles written about JA and her work from Indian and British authors. After her return to India following the invitation by the then PM, JA worked at various places in India. During this period, the paper titled "Further studies in Saccharum-zea hybrid I. Mitotic studies" was published by JA in Heredity volume 28, pages 141–142 (1972). It has been five decades since this article was published. In this entire time, the article is cited ~5 times. A genomic view of this work would be interesting and will probably happen at some point.
