Stir Blue's reply -- If that was true don't you think that we would have a new hybrid on the market?
StirBlue -- storing potatoes and onions together does lead to spoilage. Not sure what you mean by obtaining a new hybrid. Sprouting doesn't mean cross-pollination, etc.
From a google site concerning potato storage:
Avoid storing potatoes with onions because, when close together, they produce gases that spoil both.
