Abstract

We discuss three aspects of the nucleosynthesis in massive and intermediate-mass stars during their early evolutionary phases. These are related to the CNO abundances in giant or supergiant stars, to the26Al yield from massive stars via stellar wind, and to the production of the s-process nuclei in massive stars.
