You would be actually transferring a set of codes expressed as codons that will form the gene. You would be cutting one gene from a chromosome and inserting it in to another chromosome. This is called lateral gene transfer. You would use an intermediate such as a plasmid or virus to complete this transfer. Vertical gene transfer is another name for the genes that a parent passes to their offspring.
Horizontal Gene Transfer is probably the term you are looking for
Hybrid varieties are those which are developed through crossing two plants of the same species. It is distinguishable from genetic modification because it is accomplished without manipulating the DNA through physically cutting a gene from one plant and then inserting it into another. It is also different from genetic engineering in that hybridization crosses plants of the same or similar species and genetic engineering removes a gene or gene from one species, such as a bacteria or virus, and inserts it into a totally different species, such as corn or soy.

Horizontal gene transfer permits gene flow from one organism's genome to another organism's genome, It occurs commonly between prokaryotes of different species, and even between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Lateral gene transfer is the process of genetic transfer of (mostly) resistance genes through plasmids among bacteria while vertical gene transfer is the transfer of genetic materials that are passed down from parent organism to offspring from one generation to another.
A homeobox gene controls the development of a specific structure in an organism. These gene sequences are found in many species (from flies to humans) and can indicate a very distant common ancestor, since one ancient species might have passed on one homebox gene to two separates species.

Hybridization is a different technique than what is called genetic engineering. Seeds sold as hybrids are probably not genetically engineered using the method of extracting a gene from one species and inserting it into a totally different species.
