The acceleration of relativistic electrons by hydromagnetic turbulence in shell-type supernova remnants (SNRs) is examined within the framework of previous studies of their structural evolution through interaction with the interstellar medium. The predicted evolution of the synchrotron radio emission by the electrons is in agreement with a wide variety of observations.
