The evolution and nucleosynthesis in massive stars are briefly reviewed, and compared with the information derived from SN1987A in LMC. Most of the theoretical models agree with the measured abundances and they can be used in models of galactic evolution.

Models of chemical evolution of galaxies are presented and the role of massive stars in their evolution is discussed.

Finally, the role of Wolf-Rayet stars in galactic evolution is studied, particularly from the point of view of their final fate. It is shown that, if Wolf-Rayet were the progenitors of type Ib supernovae, the Galactic chemical evolution would not change substantially with respect to the case of white dwarfs being the progenitors of type Ib supernovae. However, the predicted frequency of type Ib supernovae in the Wolf- Rayet case would be far too low in comparison with observational estimates.
