Given a semisimple group over a local field of residual characteristic p, its topological group of rational points admits maximal pro-p subgroups. The maximal pro-p subgroups of quasisplit simply connected semisimple groups can be described in the combinatorial terms of a valued root groups datum, thanks to the Bruhat-Tits theory. In this context, it becomes possible to compute explicitly a minimal generating set of the (all conjugated) maximal pro-p subgroups thanks to parametrizations of a suitable maximal torus and of the corresponding root groups. We show that the minimal number of generators is then linear with respect to the rank of a suitable root system.
