1. A modified soybean plant comprising at least one of a modified 5′-untranslated region of a Glyma.03g029600 gene, wherein the modified 5′-untranslated region comprises an insertion in a 5′-untranslated region at a site located from 1 base pair nucleotide to 780 base pair nucleotides from the transcription initiation start site wherein the modified soybean plant comprises a trait of increased waterlogging tolerance as compared to a soybean plant not having the modified 5′-untranslated region of the Glyma.03g029600 gene.
