What happens when pollen moves from genetically engineered crops to wild relatives or non-genetically engineered varieties?
The same thing that happens when non-genetically engineered pollen moves to these other plants. You get a hybridized seed which may or may not display a given characteristic depending on whether the genetic trait is dominant, assuming that the other plant has the same number of chromosomes and can actually accept the pollen, and whether the seed which is produced is sterile or viable.
