Solution(By Examveda Team)
The concept of crop ideotype was developed by Donald (1968).An ideotype is a specimen identified as belonging to a specific taxon by the author of that taxon but collected from somewhere other than the type locality.
The concept of ideotype in plant breeding was introduced by Donald in 1968 to describe the idealized appearance of a plant variety. It means a form denoting an idea'.
According to Donald, an ideotype is a biological model which is expected to perform or behave in a particular manner within a defined environment.
