High resolution images of planetary nebulae have revealed a variety of non-spherical morphologies. In addition, some planetary nebulae were found to produce highly collimated jets. It is argued that binary central stars may play a crucial role in the production of all of these morphologies. In particular, a specific mechanism is identified for the generation of “point-symmetric” nebulae. It is shown that the study of binary nuclei of planetary nebulae can provide essential information for the understanding of the common envelope phase in the evolution of binary systems.
