Just to muddy the water I have been selling Maui Walla Walla, Vidalia onion seed for about 20 years. Walla Walla use to be Stockton Early Yellow, and Maui and Vidalia were both from Texas breeding lines. Soil types, climatic conditions make a big difference but there are varieties now that will produce sweet onions in many areas they just don't advertise as good as the others.
Here is a tip if you want sweet onions get any onion cut it up and put into cold water for 20 min.
I don't think that mutations can change a dicote to a monocote with out looking into it I suspect it's a varietal difference that causes it to hold together.
My two cents.
