The larger part of close binary components with initial mass exceeding ∼20 Mo becomes WR stars in the core helium burning stage. Some of the most massive WR stars may be products of evolution of single massive stars with initial masses exceeding ∼50 M0 if the mass loss in the infrared supergiant stage is effective enough. The Ledoux criterion of convective stability seems more promising to explain the observed properties of WR stars.
