Abstract

An overview of the main phases of the evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars is presented, and the different types of nucleosynthesis operating from the pre-main sequence up to and including the asymptotic giant branch phase described. The surface abundance modifications brought by each nucleosynthesis process is also briefly discussed.
