We show the existence of a constraint valid at $z=0$ between the background and dark energy parameters and the matter perturbations growth parameters. For $\Lambda$CDM $\gamma'_0\equiv \frac{d\gamma}{dz}_0$ lies in a very narrow interval $-0.0195 \le \gamma'_0 \le -0.0157$ for $0.2 \le \Omega_{m,0}\le 0.35$. Models with a constant equation of state inside General Relativity (GR) are characterized by a quasi-constant $\gamma'_0$, for $\Omega_{m,0}=0.3$ for example we have $\gamma'_0\approx -0.02$ while $\gamma_0$ can have a nonnegligible variation. A smoothly varying equation of state inside GR does not produce either $|\gamma'_0|>0.02$. A measurement of $\gamma(z)$ on small redshifts could help discriminate between various DE models even if their $\gamma_0$ is close, a possibility interesting for DE models outside GR for which a significant $\gamma'_0$ can be obtained. %G English %L in2p3-00179750 %U https://hal.in2p3.fr/in2p3-00179750 %~ IN2P3 %~ LPTA %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
