This review deals with the local instabilities arising when the effects of rotation are taken into account in the evolution of a non-magnetic star.

The Rayleigh and shear instabilities will be examined under the conditions prevailing in radiative zones where the effect of density stratification, thermal diffusion, viscosity and varying chemical composition must be taken into account. The possible consequences on the evolution of a star are finally outlined.
