Model for the role of RNA interference in the modulation of heat stress responses by oxidative stress. Oxidative stress may be induced by various sources, such as increased production/extrinsic factor (H2O2), decreased elimination (impaired defense, endogenous mutants), or a combination of the two (aging). RNA interference mediates an inhibitory action of oxidative stress and reduces heat resistance.
