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).
