Triticale has shown different behavior to aluminum toxicity (A1(3+)) when applied nutrient solution. This study had the objective of evaluating 19 triticale lines inserted at International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), IAC-5 cultivar and two control cultivars of wheat in the presence of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 mg L- 1 of Al3+. Afterwards, four genotypes being two tolerant and two sensitive were chosen to obtain the F1's, F2's, RC1's and RC2's generations, in all possible crossing. The seedlings were submitted to 6 mg L- 1 of Al3+ and analyzed later on (tolerant and sensitive) by the chi-square method. The root growth was also obtained to estimate the genetic parameters involved in the character control. The trials were carried out in laboratories, in nutritive solution. The genotypes were tolerant to 15 mg L- 1 of Al3+, exception the line 14 (P3), sensitive to 3 mg L- 1 of Al3+ and the line 13, 17 and the cultivar IAC-5 (P4), sensitive to 6 mg L- 1 of Al3+, the line 15 sensitive to 12 mg L- 1 of Al3+ and the lines 16 and 18 sensitive to 15 mg L- 1 of Al3+. It was concluded that the inheritance to tolerance to aluminum toxicity is dominant and governed by a pair of alleles. The genetic parameters involved in the root growth control in solution containing 6 mg L- 1 of Al3+ also revealed simple inheritance, suggesting a selection in the first segregating generations.
