Query: Effective temperatures of red giants in the APOKASC catalogue and the
  mixing length calibration in stellar models   Red giants in the updated APOGEE-Kepler catalogue, with estimates of mass,
chemical composition, surface gravity and effective temperature, have recently
challenged stellar models computed under the standard assumption of solar
calibrated mixing length. In this work, we critically reanalyse this sample of
red giants, adopting our own stellar model calculations. Contrary to previous
results, we find that the disagreement between the effective temperature scale
of red giants and models with solar calibrated mixing length disappears when
considering our models and the APOGEE-Kepler stars with scaled solar metal
distribution. However, a discrepancy shows up when alpha-enhanced stars are
included in the sample. We have found that assuming mass, chemical composition
and effective temperature scale of the APOGEE-Kepler catalogue, stellar models
generally underpredict the change of temperature of red giants caused by
alpha-element enhancements at fixed [Fe/H]. A second important conclusion is
that the choice of the outer boundary conditions employed in model calculations
is critical. Effective temperature differences (metallicity dependent) between
models with solar calibrated mixing length and observations appear for some
choices of the boundary conditions, but this is not a general result
