We present new results from spectro-photometric models for elliptical galaxies in which detailed descriptions of the star formation history and chemical enrichment are taken into account. In particular, we focus on the important role played stars of different chemical composition evolving along the red giant branch (RGB), horizontal branch (HB), asymptotic giant branch (AGB), and finally planetary nebula (PN) stages in relation to the sources of UV flux in elliptical galaxies. A few important applications of these new galaxy models are briefly outlined.
