Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants, plant parts and derivatives of the cotton variety 04V073. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the cotton variety 04V073 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing cotton plants by crossing the cotton variety 04V073 with itself or another cotton variety and plants produced by such methods. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A cell comprising at least a first set of chromosomes of cotton variety 04V073 wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10746. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The cell of claim 1, wherein the cell is a cell of cotton variety 04V073 wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10746. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) A plant of cotton variety 04V073, wherein the plant comprises cells according to claim 2 and wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10746. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2, 3) A plant part of the plant of claim 3, wherein the plant part comprises cells according to claim 2. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The plant part of claim 3, further defined as pollen, meristem or an ovule. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) A tissue culture of regenerable cells according to claim 2. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) A seed of cotton variety 04V073 wherein the seed comprises cells according to claim 2 and wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10746. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) A cotton plant regenerated from the tissue culture of claim 6, wherein the regenerated cotton plant expresses all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the cotton variety 04V073, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10746. ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) A method of producing cotton seed, comprising crossing the plant of claim 3 with itself or a second cotton plant. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, defined as crossing said plant of cotton variety 04V073 with a second, distinct cotton plant. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) An F1 hybrid cotton seed produced by the method of claim 10. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) An F1 hybrid cotton plant produced by growing the seed of claim 11. ### Claim 13 (depends on 3) A method of producing a cotton plant of cotton variety 04V073 comprising an added desired trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into the plant of claim 3. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect or pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified cotton fiber characteristics. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the desired trait is herbicide tolerance and the tolerance is conferred to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of glyphosate, sulfonylurea, imidazalinone, dicamba, glufosinate, phenoxy proprionic acid, cyclohexanedione, triazine, benzonitrile and broxynil. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the desired trait is insect resistance and the transgene encodes a Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) endotoxin. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) A cotton plant produced by the method of claim 13, wherein the plant comprises the desired trait and otherwise comprises all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety 04V073 when grown in the same environmental conditions, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10746. ### Claim 18 A method of introducing a single locus conversion into cotton variety 04V073 comprising: (a) crossing a plant of variety 04V073 with a second, distinct plant to produce cotton seed, wherein the second plant comprises a desired single locus, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under Accession No. PTA-10746; (b) growing F1 progeny plants from the seed and selecting at least a first F1 progeny plant that has the single locus to produce selected F1 progeny plants; (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with at least a first plant of variety 04V073 to produce backcross progeny plants; (d) selecting backcross progeny plants that have the single locus and physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety 04V073 to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the single locus and otherwise comprise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety 04V073 when grown in the same environmental conditions. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein the single locus confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility; herbicide tolerance; insect or pest resistance; disease resistance; modified fatty acid metabolism; modified carbohydrate metabolism; and modified cotton fiber characteristics. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein the trait is tolerance to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of glyphosate, sulfonylurea, imidazalinone, dicamba, glufosinate, phenoxy proprionic acid, cyclohexanedione, triazine, benzonitrile and broxynil. ### Claim 21 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein the trait is insect resistance and the insect resistance is conferred by a transgene encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin. ### Claim 22 (depends on 3) The plant of claim 3, further defined as comprising a single locus conversion. ### Claim 23 A method of producing an inbred cotton plant derived from the cotton variety 04V073, the method comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining cotton seed by crossing a plant of cotton variety 04V073 with a second, distinct plant, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under Accession No. PTA-10746 and growing at least a first seed to produce a progeny plant; (b) crossing the progeny plant with itself or a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation; (c) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from said seed and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second plant; and (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) for an additional 3-10 generations with sufficient inbreeding to produce an inbred cotton plant derived from the cotton variety 04V073. ### Claim 24 (depends on 1) A commodity plant product comprising the cell of claim 1. ### Claim 25 (depends on 24) The commodity plant product of claim 24, wherein the commodity plant product is lint or cotton seed oil.
