We stablish a local correspondence between (non-complex) minimal surfaces of S^2xS^2 and certain pair of minimal surfaces of the sphere S^3. This correspondence also allows us to link minimal surfaces in S^3 and in the Riemannian product S^2xR. Some rigidity results for compact minimal surfaces are also obtained. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.1580v1
