The most detailed calculations of the p-process call for its development in
the O/Ne layers of Type II supernovae. In spite of their overall success i
n reproducing the solar system content of p-nuclides, they suggest a signif
icant underproduction of the light Mo and Ru isotopes. On grounds of a mode
l for the explosion of a 25 M-circle dot star with solar metallicity, we de
monstrate that this failure might just be related to the uncertainties left
in the rate of the Ne-22(alpha ,n) Mg-25 neutron producing reaction. The l
atter indeed has a direct impact on the distribution of the s-process seeds
for the p-process.
