The internal cellular anatomy of wood has a fossil record extending back to the origin of the flowering plants, and beyond. Dr. Elisabeth Wheeler is a leading expert on the fossil record of wood anatomy, and she has been instrumental in assembling an international effort to construct a database of wood characteristics. Dr. Wheeler has requested a Career Advancement Award to allow her to gain the statistical and computing skills necessary to begin critical exploration of this data resource. Patterns of evolutionary and functional relationships will be established through this analysis, thereby clarifying the factors behind the diversity of wood structures found alive today. Dr. Wheeler is uniquely qualified to lead both the expansion and the analysis of the proposed database of wood anatomy. The proposed career advancement activities will provide her with a realistic opportunity of expand and accelerate this research program.

木材的内部细胞解剖有化石记录 一直延伸到开花植物的起源，甚至更远。 伊丽莎白惠勒博士是一个领先的专家在化石记录 木材解剖学，她一直在组装一个工具， 建立木材数据库国际努力 特色 惠勒医生要求升职 奖，让她获得统计和计算技能， 开始对这一数据资源的批判性探索。 进化和功能关系的模式将是 通过这种分析建立，从而澄清因素 在今天还活着的木结构的多样性背后。 惠勒博士是唯一有资格领导扩张的人 木材解剖学数据库的分析。 的 建议的职业发展活动将为她提供一个 拓展和加速这一研究的现实机遇 程序.
