We investigate homogeneous geodesics in a class of homogeneous spaces calledM-spaces, which are defined as follows. LetG/Kbe a generalized flag manifold with, whereSis a torus in a compact simple Lie groupGandis the semisimple part ofK. Then, theassociatedM-spaceis the homogeneous space. These spaces were introduced and studied by H. C. Wang in 1954. We prove that for various classes ofM-spaces the only g.o. metric is the standard metric. For other classes ofM-spaces we give either necessary, or necessary and sufficient conditions, so that aG-invariant metric onis a g.o. metric. The analysis is based on properties of the isotropy representationof the flag manifoldG/K[as-modules].
