From considerations of kinetic energy input from turbulent convection into g-mode pulsation, we show that g-mode pulsation may obtain enough energy from the turbulence to overcome damping in the stellar interior. The development of thick convective envelope in the stellar models requires a small value of the convection parameter α = 1.2 to ensure the low mass limit of the γ Dor stars' instability strip to be in agreement with the observations.
