Collectively, temperature, water availability, atmospheric gases, aeration of the soil, mineral nutrients, etc. modulate all the gene activities. The time the genotype uses (needs) to develop to harvest maturity is strongly modulated by both temperature and daylength. Independently the same environment, mostly the temperature and moisture regimes, establishes the duration of the growing season. 2, record 1, English, - duration%20of%20the%20growing%20season

Le poivron et la tomate sont des plantes de climat chaud sensibles au gel. Pour les abris froids, il est essentiel d’avoir une idée des dates représentant des risques de gel printanier et automnal par localité. Ainsi, il sera possible d’estimer la durée de la saison de croissance sans gel afin d’évaluer lequel, d’une serre chauffée ou d’un abri froid, est davantage approprié au site. Il faudra prendre en considération le fait qu'un abri non chauffé offre une protection maximale d’environ 1 °C contre les gelées nocturnes. 1, record 2, French, - dur%C3%A9e%20de%20la%20saison%20de%20croissance%20sans%20gel
