Can hybrid plants that dont produce seed still pollinate other plants?
Peteee
yes. in most (highly) hybridized plants seeds are produced but are either infertile or the genetics of the plant prohibit successful fertilization and the production of seed.
this is very common occurrence amongst F1 Hybrid vegetable seed varieties.
most hybrid plants do however produce viable pollen, allowing the hybrid plant to pollinate a non-hybrid plant. this is one of the major points of contention with genetically modified crops; where the "inserted" gene could in fact find its way into other closely situated crops.
