True breeding tall plants would be TT and true breeding short plants would be tt, so TT x tt would illustrate the crossbreeding.
TT for the homozygous tall parent, tt for the homozygous short parent and Tt for the heterozygous offspring.
True breeding tall plants would be TT and true breeding short plants would be tt, so TT x tt would illustrate the crossbreeding.

TT x tt
The Punnett square would show that all offspring would be heterozygous for the trait, meaning they would have one allele for tall plants and one allele for short plants. This would result in all offspring being tall plants phenotypically, but carrying the allele for short plants.
True breeding plants were homozygous for all the characters expressed, hence inheritance of characters was better understood with the help of these plants.
Generally speaking, the letters used to represent cross breeding in Punnett squares indicate the characteristic being bred for. In this case, T would represent the tall plants, and S would represent the short plants. Cross-bred plants would most likely be represented by TS.
Any letters can be used, but typically "T" is used for tall and "t" is for short. Letters are usually chosen by using the first letter of the characteristic being described, and the upper case represents the trait being dominant. Lower case represents the trait being recessive.
