Abstract

After summarizing the most important features of current stellar yields of CNO elements (including recent results concerning rotating and mass losing stars) I discuss how these yields may help to interpret relevant observations in the local Galaxy, the Milky Way disk and extragalactic systems (extragalactic HII regions and DLAs).
