Solution(By Examveda Team)

GMS is exploited in the commercial hybrid seed production of Musk melon.
GMS is Genetic male sterile and is exploited for commercial hybrid seed production for producing F1 hybrid seeds.
Mono-genic recessive GMS is maintained by backcrossing it with a heterozygous isogenic line for male sterility. Therefore, in the hybrid seed production field, 50% of male fertile segregants need to be identified and removed before they shed pollen.
