The possibility that nonconventional neutrino oscillations take place in the superstring-inspired E{sub 6} models is considered. In this context, the influence of leptoquark-mediated interactions of the neutrinos with nucleons in the resonant flavor conversion is discussed. It is shown that this effect can be significant for {nu}{sub {ital e}}-{nu}{sub {tau}} oscillations if these neutrinos have the masses required in the ordinary Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein effect, and may lead to a solution of the solar-neutrino problem even in the absence of vacuum mixings. On the other hand, this model cannot lead to resonant behavior in the Sun if the neutrinos are massless.
