However, there are many factors affecting the productivity of soybean, of which insect pests and diseases are the most harmful agents. Therefore, an application of biotechnology to transfer insect resistance genes derived from a species of bacteria<em> Bacillus thuringiensis</em> can contribute to increase soybean yield and significantly reducing pesticide use. Currently, there are many insecticidal proteins detected from <em>B.</em> <em>thuringiensis</em> such as Cry, Cyt and Vip with a broad and specific spectrum belonged to several orders Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, Homopera, and Nematoda. Numerous studies have been implemented over the world to transfer genes encoding these proteins in combination or modified forms to increase their toxicity. Several events of genetically engineered soybean with stacked traits of insect resistance and herbicide tolerance are commercialized and approved to be cultured in many countries such as MON 87701 × MON 89788 or DAS-81419-2. In Vietnam, studies on genetically engineered soybean with insect resistance trait has been carried out. Moreover, the exploitation, screening and selection of high biodiversity and indigenous <em>B. thuringiensis</em> strains which habors specific genes capable of killing targeted insects and serve as materials for plant transformation are great scientific meaning and potential practical application. This will be an important source of materials to create many soybean cultivars with good ability of insect resistance in order to meet specific needs.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Vietnam Journal of Biotechnology}, author={Thu Hien, Le Thi and Bich Hang, Pham Le and Tuong Van, Nguyen and Minh Thanh, Le Thi and Thi Hang, Dao and Hai Ha, Nguyen and Hong Hanh, Ha and Thu Hue, Huynh Thi and Nhat Linh, Nguyen and Thanh Hoa, Nguyen Thi and Thuy Hang, Dinh and Van Dong, Nguyen}, year={2020}, month={Jul.}, pages={1–21} }
