The structure and chemistry of protoplanetary disks depends strongly on the nature of the central star around which it has formed. The dust temperature is mainly set by the stellar luminosity, while the chemistry of the upper disk layers depends on the amount of intercepted UV and X-ray flux. We discuss here the differences in chemistry, thermal structure and line emission around Herbig Ae/Be, T Tauri stars and low-mass M dwarfs. Predictions will be made for future observations with SOFIA and Herschel.
