Background Many citrus orchards of south China suffer from soil acidification, which induces aluminum (Al) toxicity. The Al-immobilization  in vivo  is crucial for Al detoxification. However, the distribution and translocation of excess Al in citrus species are not well understood. Results The seedlings of ‘Xuegan’ [ Citrus sinensis  (L.) Osbeck] and ‘Shatianyou’ [ Citrus grandis  (L.) Osbeck], that differ in Al tolerance, were hydroponically treated with a nutrient solution (Control) or supplemented by 1.0 mM Al 3+  (Al toxicity) for 21 days after three months of pre-culture. The Al distribution at the tissue level of citrus species followed the order: lateral roots &gt; primary roots &gt; leaves &gt; stems. The concentration of Al extracted from the cell wall (CW) of lateral roots was found to be about 8 to 10 times higher than in the lateral roots under Al toxicity, suggesting that the CW was the primary Al-binding site at the subcellular level. Furthermore, the Al distribution in CW components of the lateral roots showed that pectin had the highest affinity for binding Al. The relative expression level of genes directly relevant to Al transport indicated a dominant role of  Cs6g03670.1  and  Cg1g021320.1  in the Al distribution of two citrus species. Compared to  C. grandis ,  C. sinensis  had a significantly higher Al concentration on the CW of lateral roots, whereas remarkably lower Al levels in the leaves and stems. Furthermore, Al translocation revealed by the absorption kinetics of the CW demonstrated that  C. sinensis  had a higher Al retention and stronger Al affinity on the root CW than  C. grandis . According to the FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) analysis, the Al distribution and translocation might be affected by a modification in the structure and components of the citrus lateral root CW. Conclusions A higher Al-retention, mainly attributable to pectin of the root CW, and a lower Al translocation efficiency from roots to shoots contributed to a higher Al tolerance of  C. sinensis  than  C. grandis.  The aluminum distribution and translocation of two citrus species differing in aluminum tolerance were associated with the transcriptional regulation of genes related to Al transport and the structural modification of root CW.
